Well all and all I can’t wait for the water temp to drop. Water temps are still in the low 70’s and walleye fishing is slow. On Saturday around 2:30 I decided to hit the water for some walleye fishing until dark. I thought I would start off trolling the lake. When I got to one of my favorite spots to troll I saw IDA member Derek (a.k.a Diesel)and stop to say hi and ask how’s fishing. After about an hour with no results I decided to bring in the boards and get out my pitching rod and pitch some jigs and crawlers around the rock bar that I was trolling around. It didn’t long and I caught a 14 inch and then another, I called out to Derek to come over and join the fun. After about an hour or two with only one keeper to show for it which was a nice 17 incher I told Derek I’m heading back to the river to fish the shallow wood until dark. Derek decide to join me and off we went. On my way back to the river going around 50 I hit a wave from a pontona and it jerk my head back and off went the my new in-depth hat 
. I turn around to look for it but that color matches the water at that time of day or they sink and coudn’t find my hat. Well one thing will come out of this is the person that finds the hat most likely will vist the site 
unless it sunk. So back to fishing the wood for about 30 minutes vertical jigging nuckle ball jigs with half crawler did not produce anything so on my way home I went with Derek right behind. It sure was great to be out on the water and can’t wait for the next time.
