Too Muddy to Fish

Fished with Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the lower 40s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 50s. The wind was out of the southeast 10 to 15 knots in the morning and by 9:00 AM it was 5 to 10 knots. The waves were 1 to 2 feet and the water temp is 45 degrees. The lake was very dirty from all the rain and high winds this past week which made for very difficult fishing conditions. We started fishing by the Toledo Light House because there was a small pack of 5 boats and they were the only boats in the area. Made a drift in this area and had no hits so we went back to where we fished last week, about half way between Turtle Island and the Toledo Light House. I was using a white blade bait and Daryl had a fire tiger blade bait. We were marking some fish but the water was very dirty, visibility was about two inches. After a couple of drifts Daryl switched to a hair jig with a minnow. We fished from 9:00 to 11:00 AM and caught no fish so we called it a day. There were only 11 boats fishing in this area, which is not very many for this time of year.
