Nice Day But Very Few Fish

Uncle Dan & Walleye
Fished with Uncle Dan. Temperature this morning was in the lower 40s and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 50s. When we started fishing there was no wind and the lake was flat. Around 10:00 AM the wind started to blow out of the east about 10 knots with waves around a foot. The water temp is 51 degrees and after the blow we had for the last 4 days out of the west, the lake is very clean. We headed out to Turtle Island and there were only a few boats, but there was a larger pack of boats by the Toledo Light House. Made a pass through there and we saw no fish being caught so we went across the ditch and fished the humps off Little Cedar Point. Picked up the first fish after 5 minutes of jigging and had the second fish on 10 minutes later, things were looking good. Made about 5 more drifts through this area and we had no more bites. We packed up and went back toward the Lighthouse and started drifting again. Caught some sheephead, silver bass and one throw back walleye (14 1/2 inches) and that was it. All the fish came off the blue and silver blade baits. Kept 2 walleye for the day. The Charter Captains picked up around the cleaning station and power washed and reorganized the cleaning tables - it looks great!!
