Fished with Joe, Daryl could not make it again. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60's when we started fishing and it was in the upper 70's when we quit fishing. The wind was less than 5 knots out of the east and there were no waves. But there sure was a lot of tiny bugs, enough to almost to drive you crazy. The water temp is 73 degrees. Started fishing right in front of the harbor in 14 feet of water and we were catching fish right out of the gate. We were trolling wiggle warts 75 feet behind the boards. Between swatting the bugs and catching a lot of short walleye we were very busy. Kept 12 walleye between 15 and 18 inches, lost count on how many short walleye we put back and only caught 1 silver bass. When we got back to the marina we had to stop at the gas dock and wash off all the bugs in and on the boat. That's Joe holding a 8 inch walleye. This time next year it will be 15 inches and legal to keep.
