It Was a Short Day

Fished with Joe, Daryl had to cancel. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60's and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 70's. The wind was out of the southwest around 10 knots when we started fishing and then it laid down to almost nothing. There was hardly any waves. The water temp is 71 degrees. Started fishing at (41 48 800 / 083 20 100) with wiggle warts set at 75 feet back on one side of the boat and 65 feet on the other side. The first two fish we caught were sheep head and from then on it was all walleye. We moved the one side of the boat to 75 feet back because that was the most productive side. We had to sort through a lot of short walleye but after it was all done it was a short trip. Kept 12 walleye between 15 and 22 inches, put back 27 short walleye ( between 8 and 14 3/4 inches ) and two sheep head. We had to wait for the gas dock to open this morning to fuel up but we were back to the harbor in a very short time.
