Nice Day, Bad Results

Fished with Joe and Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the lower 40's and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 60's. The wind was very light and variable with no waves, just a little chop on the lake. The water temp is 58 Degrees. Started fishing around the S-Buoy trolling with junior thunder sticks set at 75 feet back, deep diving bandits set at 50 feet back and dipsy's and bombers set at 28 feet back. We were marking a lot of fish but we had no takers, so after a half hour we took off the thunder sticks and put on crawlers set at 45 feet back. The water was dirty, but clean enough to catch fish. Finally we caught our first walleye and it was a short walleye. Stayed in this area for a while and we landed only one keeper walleye so we started heading to the East. About 15 minutes heading into this direction I started playing with the auto pilot and I put the boat into a 360 Degree spin, not a good thing. I shut down the motor and we were into a major mess. Thanks to all the good work of my crew we did not lose anything, hard to believe. Since all the lines were out of the water we headed for walleye alley. Set up here with the same program and we only caught one keeper walleye. We pulled lines and headed back to the dumping grounds running the same program. When we fished the stained water we started to catch walleye, some keepers and some shorts, but our time was running out. When we got into the dirty water we were catching logs and paper. Kept 7 walleye and put back 8 short walleye. Only caught a few junk fish.
