Fished with Captain Daryl and Tom. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60's and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 70's. The wind in the morning was out of the southeast 15 knots with waves about 2 feet and the wind was switching to the southwest 15 knots with waves less than 2 feet. The water temp is 73 degrees. Yesterday the wind was howling around 30 knots out of the east and it tore up the lake pretty good. We headed out to the dumping grounds and the water was very dirty. We motored for about 5 minutes thru the dump and we did not mark any fish. We headed out to sputnik and we were marking a lot of fish and the water was a little cleaner so we set up to fish. We ran jet 40's back 75 and 80 feet and made one pass up the lake then turned around and headed back towards sputnik. We had no bites so we pulled lines and headed towards West Sister Island. We were fishing the northwest side of the island trolling with jet 40's set at 80 and 90 feet back. We started to catch a few walleye but the mayfly hatch was very bad and it was hard to keep the lines clean. We pulled lines and headed back to port. It was Tom's last walleye trip for the year. Kept 4 walleye. We had a little bit of everything today. Wind, waves, dirty water, mayfly hatch and rain a couple of times.
