Working Hard to Catch Fish

Fished with Joe and Uncle Dan. Temperature this morning was in the lower 40s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 60s. The wind was light and variable and the lake was pretty flat. The water temp is 60 degrees. Started fishing by Stony Point (41 54 600 / 083 15 500) with jet 40s set at 40 feet back on one side of the boat and 50 feet back on the other side. We were consistently catching fish but most of them were silver bass. We stayed here for 1 1/2 hours and we only had 2 walleye in the cooler so we moved towards the River Raisin (41 52 580 / 083 14 150) and started to catch some walleye. We set the jet 40s at 60 feet back with spoons that had copper on the back and that seemed to do the trick. We were still catching some silver bass but at least we were putting some walleye in the cooler. Kept 16 walleye, 1 jumbo perch and we put back 4 walleye that were under size. When we were in the fish cleaning station we heard a report that they caught some walleye off the dumping grounds with body baits.
