Another Tough Day of Fishing

Fished with Daryl, Uncle Dan could not make it. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 80s. The wind was out of the south east 10 to 15 knots with waves around 2 feet. The water temp is 69 degrees.Started fishing at (41 51 600 / 083 17 200) which is where we have been fishing the last two trips. Started setting the lines and we noticed all the weeds. Stayed here about 15 minutes and we caught 2 silver bass and a lot of weeds. Made a move to the east and set up at (41 52 300 / 083 12 100) with jet 20s set at 80 feet and jet 40s set at 60 feet. We were out of the weeds but we were catching a lot of junk fish, silver bass and sheep head. Again we would catch a walleye every so often just to keep us in this area.. We put the jet 20s back to 100 feet and that was the only change we made. Kept 5 walleye and we had to work hard to catch those. I broke the e z steer connecting rod for the engines when we first set up for trolling so we trolled with the main motor all day, which worked out OK because it was pretty hard to steer into the waves.
