John's Crew

 Fished with John, Branden and Kevin. Temperature this morning was in the lower 70s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 80s. The water temp is 76 degrees. On the boat ride out this morning the wind was out of the South 15 to 17 knots with waves up to 3 feet. Around 9:30 a.m. the wind started to come out of the South, Southeast less than 10 knots with waves about a foot, which made it a lot more comfortable. Started fishing at (41 48 300 / 083 06 200) which is 15 miles from port, just too far to go and chase walleye. Set up with jet 40s set at 60 feet on one side of the boat and 80 feet on the other side. The fishing was slow and it stayed that way all day. Made a few down wind trolls and only caught 1 walleye so we pulled lines and started one last down wind troll. We changed the set ups to 80 feet and 90 feet back with the jets and that did not help either. Picked up one more walleye and a few perch and then we called it a day. Kept 2 walleye and 2 perch. The guys on the other boat had 11 walleye and a perch so they cleaned the fish and went to Trapper's for lunch.
