Fished with Dwayne and Dan. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60s and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 70s. The wind in the morning was out of the southwest 10 to 15 knots with waves around 2 feet and by 11:00 AM the wind started to come out of the south less than 10 knots with waves less than a foot. The water temp is 69 degrees and the mayfly hatch is starting. Started fishing at 41 45 125 / 083 12 450 trolling with jet 40s set at 30 and 35 feet back. After a while we put the small dipsy's on one side of the boat set at 80 feet back and that caught 1 walleye. The water was pretty bumpy and the mayfly larva floating on the surface of the water made setting the lines difficult. We fished around here until 10:30 AM and only had 3 walleye so we pulled lines and ran out to 41 49 100 / 083 07 300. Set up here with jet 40s set at 80 and 85 feet back and the catching was still pretty slow so we put out the small dipsy's on one side of the boat set at 110 feet back. That started to catch some walleye but now it was getting late in the fishing trip so we pulled lines and came home. Kept 7 walleye for the trip. On the way back to the harbor the boat quit running 2 miles from shore and it would not start again. We started the kicker motor and started to come in with that until we got the main motor to run again. We made it back to the harbor and I was heading to the fuel dock to fill up and the motor quit running again when we were about 25 feet from the dock. Made a crash landing at the fuel dock and put some nice scratches in the boat. Put some gas in the boat and got the main motor to start again and we made it back to the rack and launch without another accident. Now I need to figure out what the problem is.
