Catfish Joe Strikes Again

Fished with Joe. Temperature this morning was in the lower 70's and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 80's. It was even muggy out on the water. The wind was less than 10 knots out of the southwest with just a light chop on the water. The water temp is 76 degrees. Started fishing the other side of the Ohio dump trolling bandits 130 feet behind the boards. Once we got out of the dump area we did not mark any fish. We were catching a few fish so we put spoons and mini disk at 120 feet back on one side. Started catching walleye right away but they were all shorts. We pulled lines and headed back to Michigan waters. Set up at the S buoy trolling towards Turtle Island with wiggle warts set at 70 and 90 feet back. Started to catch fish right out of the gate but again we were catching a lot of short walleye. We just stayed put and sorted through all the small walleye to get our 12 fish. Caught some large sheep head and a few white perch and yes Joe caught another catfish.
