Walleye or Perch?

Fished with Joe and Daryl. Temperature this morning was in the lower 60's and when we quit fishing it was in the middle 70's. The wind was light out of the northwest with a little chop on the lake. The water temp is 71 degrees. We had no good perch reports so at the last minute we decided to go walleye fishing. Headed out to the e buoy and set lines with wiggle warts set at 65 and 85 feet back. The lake was dirty and there were some weeds floating so the conditions were not great. After about a half hour of trolling we picked up a little keeper walleye which gave us some confidence but the weeds were getting worse. It got to the point that we were constantly checking the poles for weeds and it was a pain. Made it to the River Raisin and the weeds were worse so I turned and trolled towards shore. It helped a little but the weeds were still there. Everyone was tired of checking poles so we decided to call it a day when we got close to the c buoy.. Kept 6 walleye. Just hope the perch show up pretty soon.
