92 Degrees, That Says It All

Fished with Captain Daryl and Mark. Temperature this morning was in the middle 70s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 90s, and it's only the middle of June. The wind was out of the south at 10 knots when we started fishing and it laid down to 5 knots after a couple of hours. The waves were a foot or less. The water temp is 71 degrees and that helped cool things off a little. Started fishing in front of Bolles Harbor by a pack of boats (41 51 250 / 083 17 175) trolling with jet 20s set at 60 feet back and jet 40s set at 35 feet back. Made 3 or 4 passes here and we caught a lot of silver bass and only 1 walleye so we pulled lines and headed past Sputnik to (41 48 375 / 083 09 100). Set up on an east troll with jet 20s at 80 feet back and jet 40s at 65 feet back. It did not take too long and we were into some fish. We trolled around the 48/08 line for the rest of the trip. We lost at least 7 fish behind the boat that we thought were walleye, kept 16 walleye and 3 perch and had 3 little walleye that we put back. Daryl hooked up the mister again like last year and that helped cool things off a lot. When we were cleaning the fish another fisherman was cleaning his fish and they caught all their fish at the first spot we stopped at, we just did not fish deep enough. They ran jet 40s back 60 to 70 feet in 21 feet of water.
