Rough and Long Ride

Fished with Daryl and Mark. Temperature this morning was in the middle 50s and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 60s. The wind was out of the north 10 to 15 knots and the waves were 2 to 4 feet. Around 10:00 AM the lake laid down to 2 foot waves. The water temp is 63 degrees. The water is dirty in Michigan so we had to cross the channel to fish. We set up at 41 47 100 / 083 10 250 and trolled with the waves using jet 40s set at 75 feet back. We caught 1 fish right out of the gate but then it slowed down. We ended up fishing at 41 46 200 / 083 06 500 which is too far to go for walleye. We could not troll into the waves so we would pull lines and run back into the waves and set up with another downwind troll. Kept 6 walleye and we only caught a few silver bass. Hopefully the lake will clear up by tomorrow so we can fish closer to port. We added a new buoy report on the blog which is located just this side of McDonald's, called it the Bolles Harbor Weather Buoy. It has some very useful info.
