Memorial Weekend Trip

Fished with Joe and Dan. Temperature this morning was in the lower 70's and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 80's. The water temp is 63 Degrees. The wind was out of the southwest for most of the trip, less than 10 knots and there was just a little chop on the lake. Started fishing by the S- buoy trolling about 2.2 MPH with thunder sticks 65 feet behind the boards. Caught 4 quick walleye and lost one behind the boat and then they just shut down. Made four more passes through the same area and we did not catch a keeper walleye. Started trolling towards Turtle Island (41 46 925 / 083 21 900 ) and we found some active fish again. We stayed in this area and caught the rest of our fish. Kept 18 walleye, caught and released 16 short walleye ( between 10 and 14 1/2 inches ) and only caught about a dozen silver bass. Joe and I worked on the boat last week replacing the power assist unit and everything worked great today.
