Still Fishing in Close

Fished with Captain Daryl and Mark. Temperature this morning was in the lower 70's and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 70's. The wind was out of the west any where between 15 to 24 knots. When we were fishing in tight the waves were less than six inches and the one time we got out to 15 feet of water the waves were just over a foot. The water temp is 77 degrees. Started fishing right in front of the marina trolling with wiggle warts set at 40 feet behind the boards heading towards the swamp. We did not catch our first walleye until we were in the swamp. Stayed around the 11 foot range and we picked up one ticket of fish. Made a move out to 14 feet of water and we would pick up an occasional walleye. Set one side of the boat to 50 feet back and that helped a little bit. Made one more move to 55 feet behind the boards and that was the ticket. Kept 14 walleye and only had about 10 short walleye that we put back. Caught about a half dozen sheep head, half dozen silver bass and one little muskie.
