Too Bad the Fishing Wasn't as Hot as the Temperature

Uncle Dan an Dwayne
Fished with Uncle Dan and Dwayne. Temperature this morning was in the lower 70s and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 90s. It was HOT. The wind was out of the southwest around 10 knots with waves less than a foot. The water temp is 78 degrees. Started fishing where we have been the last couple of trips, with wiggle warts set at 70 feet on one side of the boat and rebel crawfish set at 60 feet on the other side. Both sides were catching fish and then it just slowed down. We started changing the setups but nothing seemed to work. Caught a few throw back walleye and 2 nice small mouth bass but it was hard to catch a walleye. Kept 9 walleye and they were just of legal size. The reports back at the harbor was the catching was very slow. Could have been from the storms that blew through last night! On a side note, Dr. Doug was in attendance today when Uncle Dan managed to hook himself. Surgery went well.
