Bugging Out

Fished with Joe. Temperature this morning was in the middle 60s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 80s, and that was at 9:30 AM. The water temp is 76 degrees. The weather person called for an East wind 10 to 15 knots with waves up to 3 feet. The lake was flat with no waves, but a whole lot of bugs. Without any headgear on you would breath in bugs through your mouth and nose, just terrible. Started fishing where we were on Saturday and we never left this area. Trolled with jet 40s set at 35 feet back and wiggle warts set at 65 feet back. Today the jet 40s out fished the wiggle warts 2 to 1. Caught mostly walleye but most of them were just of legal size, 15 1/4 inches. The fishing was great but the bugs were hard to put up with. I told Joe it took longer to wash out the bugs from the boat than it did to catch the fish. Kept 12 walleye and we were glad to get off the water. Just in case you cannot tell from the picture, Joe has a smile on his face!
