Fished with Captain Daryl and Joe. Temperature this morning was in the upper 60's and when we quit fishing it was in the lower 80's. The wind was less than 10 knots but in the morning we had the residual waves from last night. When we started fishing the waves were less than two feet and after a hour the lake laid right down. The water temp is 71 degrees. Started fishing the back side of the Michigan dump and the water was dirty. We followed the Michigan line east and when we got around the Ohio dump we started to find some clean water and some fish. We were using crawlers on both sides of the boat with 2 and 3 oz. bottom bouncers. Again we lost some fish but that is expected this time of year. Ended the day with 5 walleye. This morning I met some Mennonites from Indiana in the bait store and was just talking to them about fishing. They left the bait store and were out side talking to Joe and Daryl about fishing and we happened to see that they were fishing off a pontoon boat. Thought nothing of it. When we were done fishing Daryl asked if we wanted the walleye and we said no that he could have them. Well, he did not want them so he decided to give them to the Mennonites if we could find them on the way back to the marina. We saw a large pack of boats around the e buoy and lo and behold we spotted their boat. We pulled up next to them and asked if they wanted some walleye and they said yes so we gave them our fish. They only had a few catfish and no perch so they were very happy and I think Daryl saved their fishing trip.
