The Day After the Big Blow

Fished with Captain Daryl and Joe. Temperature this morning was in the lower 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 60s. The wind was out of the northwest 10 knots and less. We just had 3 days of the winds blowing out of the west and northwest 25 to 30 knots so the lake was in pretty bad shape. We did not find any clean water until we got past the shipping channel then we saw a pack of boats so that was our starting spot (41 46 630 / 083 09 450). We set up with deep diving Jr. thunder sticks set at 90 feet and dipsy's and spoons set at 75 feet. We caught a lot of silver bass off the dipsy's so we pulled off the thunder sticks and put on jet 20s and spoons set at 80 feet. Started catching more silver bass and then we finally caught a walleye. After we trolled around through the pack of boats and not seeing any fish being caught we started a troll towards sputnik. Picked up another walleye and then the catching slowed down. We pulled lines and headed for the Turn Around Buoy and set up a troll heading towards Sputnik. Got close to Sputnik and the lines started to pop and the catching was on, for big sheep head. Continued the troll down the channel and we caught 1 more walleye and decided to call it a day. Kept 3 walleye and all of them came off a spoon called confusion.
