Should Be Perch Fishing - Not Walleye Fishing

Fished with Joe and Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the upper 60's and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 70's. The wind was light and variable with no waves. The water temp is 69 degrees. Started fishing the back side of the Michigan dump trolling with bottom bouncers and crawlers and junior thunder sticks. Caught a walleye off the crawler set up and lost a couple of fish off the thunder sticks. Made a pass up the back side of the dump and turned around and headed back to where we started. Caught a couple more walleye off the crawlers so we put crawlers on both sides of the boat. Once we got dialed in with the right depth and speed it was game on. Best set up was 3 oz. weight set at 42 feet back and 2 oz. weight set at 55 feet back. We lost a couple of fish right behind the boat and a couple just got off. We ended up using all 3 dozen of our crawlers and we only caught a couple of junk fish, one small perch and 5 under size walleye. Kept 18 walleye.
