Just Pecked Away

Fished with Daryl and Uncle Dan. Temperature this morning was in the upper 60s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 90s. The wind was out of the southwest less than 10 knots with waves around a foot. The water temp is 78 degrees. Had another late start today because we had to wait 50 minutes for a hilo driver, second time this year. The lake was in very good shape, no weeds and no mayflies.  Our game plan was to start trolling at the C buoy heading east with wiggle warts set at 70 feet behind the planer boards. After 45 minutes and only one fish we pulled lines and headed towards the swamp. Only saw a few boats there so we went back towards the E buoy and started fishing 1 mile past the buoy running the same program. Started to catch some walleye at 41 52 040 / 083 16 360. We just worked this area for the rest of the trip and caught mostly walleye. The catching was pretty slow but the majority of the fish we caught were walleye.  Best warts were anything with metallic paint on them. Kept 12 walleye for the day.
