Fished with Daryl. The object for today was to check out the big motor and make sure it ran OK. Ran it for 2 hours(20 minutes run time and 1 hour and 40 minutes trolling time) and everything checked out perfect. Temperature this morning was in the upper 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 70s. The wind in the morning was out of the northwest 10 to 15 knots with waves around 2 feet and after a couple of hours the wind switched to the west less than 5 knots with a light chop on the water. The water temp is 78 degrees and there is sign of an algae bloom. Started trolling just past the E Buoy heading into the waves with wiggle warts set at 80 feet on one side of the boat and 100 feet on the other side. Made a long pass towards the River Raisin Channel and turned around and headed back towards the E Buoy. On the pass back we put dipsy's and spoons on one side of the boat set at 50 feet back. When we got close to the E Buoy (41 49 540 / 083 19 625) we caught our first walleye. Once we found the fish the catching was easy. Trolled in this area and we only caught 3 junk fish. Kept 12 walleye, lost one behind the boat and had 3 walleye that were under size that we put back. Turned out to be a great day on the water.
