It Was a Windy One Today

Fished with Joe. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60's and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 70's. The heat wave is done for a while. The wind was out of the northwest 15 to 25 knots with waves 2 to 3 feet. The water temp is 76 Degrees. Our game plan was to troll with the waves, run the back side of the Michigan dump, pull lines and do it all over again. We set up 2 miles east of the E buoy trolling with bandits set at 90 feet back. We were marking a lot of fish but we were also catching a lot of weeds. Once we got close to the E buoy the weeds were gone. The windward side of the boat started catching fish and on the first pass we kept 6 walleye. On the next pass we put the leeward side to 125 feet back and we only picked up 3 more keeper walleye. On the third pass we ran the same set up and we finally got our 12 walleye. Caught around 15 short walleye and we only had a couple of junk fish. A pretty bad storm blew through the area yesterday and a lot of trees were down in the subdivision by the marina. Thought the lake might be full of debris but it was in good shape.
