Fished with Joe and Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60's and when we quit fishing it was in the upper 70's. The wind was light and variable with waves less than a foot.The water temp is 72 Degrees. Got a report that they were catching some fish by the dumping grounds. We drove by there and looked for fish on the fish finder but it did not look very promising, so we headed to our hot spot. We set up there and we did not even get a hit. Started trolling towards Sputnik with bandits set at 130 feet back and Daryl suggested we put jet 40's with spoons on one side. We put the jets on and the fishing was on fire, too bad most of the fish were under size walleye. At this point, we were about a mile east of Sputnik. We were catching a few keeper walleye so we put both sides to the jet 40's. We worked this area for a while and then we headed for Sputnik where we started to catch a few more keeper walleye. Spent the rest of the trip trolling between Sputnik and the first set of buoys west of Sputnik and then we called it a day. Kept 16 walleye and 2 perch. We also caught 2 catfish (one weighed around 8 lbs.) and 1 sheep head that went back to the lake.We lost track of how many short walleye we caught, but we were guessing around 35. Today was the perfect day to be fishing on Lake Erie, a light breeze and no bugs.
