First Trip Out On The Birdnest This Year

Fished with Joe and Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the lower 50's and when we quit fishing it was in lower 60's. The water temp is 52 degrees. The wind was out of the east about 7 knots when we started fishing and picked up to about 14 knots when we quit. There was a small chop on the lake when we started and when we quit fishing the waves were 1 to 2 feet. Started fishing the humps on the dumping ground trolling junior thunder sticks set at 55 and 65 feet back. Caught silver bass, not just a few silver bass but a lot of them. Made the move close to Turtle Island fishing in Michigan waters. There was a mud line there so we tried to fish the edge of it. When we first set up we caught a walleye and then we had a long dry spell. Change the length of the leads to 80 and 90 feet but the catching was very tough. Kept 3 walleye and we caught a ton of silver bass, Joe even caught two on one lure.
