The Boy Had a Ball

Fished with Captain Daryl, Randy and Spencer. Temperature this morning was in the lower 70s and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 80s. The wind was light out of the south with waves less than a foot. The water temp is 74 degrees. Started fishing at (41 49 300 / 083 20 120) trolling to the southwest. We ran wiggle warts set at 70 and 75 feet back. There are a few weeds in the area but they were not too bad. Started catching fish right out of the gate and Randy and Spencer were non stop catching fish. Made a couple of passes in this area but the catching started to slow down. We figured we would fish for one more hour and call it a day. About that time the coast guard pulled up along side of us and wanted to check everything out. We had to pull all the fishing lines and the planer boards in so they could board the boat. They took our driver license's to run checks on them and proceeded to check for all the required equipment on the boat. The Captain had everything that was needed so they gave us back our license's and they were on their way. Since we had all the lines pulled we decided to call it a day and head back to port. Spencer drove the boat all the way back to port without a problem. I'm not sure if we should call him Captain Spencer or Walleye Spencer since he caught most of the walleye. Kept 15 walleye and we put back 2 under size walleye.
