It Was a Bumpy One

Fished with Captain Daryl and Mark. Temperature this morning was in the middle 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 80s. The wind was out of the southwest 15 to 20 knots with waves 2 to 3 feet. The water temp is 59 degrees. Started fishing at the S Buoy (41 48 000 / 083 21 850) trolling towards the E Buoy. We ran crawlers on 2 oz. bottom bouncers set at 60 feet back. Our first pass through the dumping grounds we caught 5 walleye. Pulled lines and ran the same pass again and we only caught 1 walleye along with a few junk fish. The 3rd pass we ran jet 40s set at 32 feet back and jet 20s set at 55 feet back. All that we caught were junk fish. By this time it was hard to control the boat and we called it a day. Kept 6 walleye for the trip.
