Got out of Burwell with the Yak. On water at 3....rods set at 37' by 330. Definitely dirty from the big winds the day before but at about 35' out...cleared. Beyond 41' was near normal clear. Ran harnesses off 2 ounce banana weights back 100'. Started at 40' running west (my usual run)...pulled 2 silver and had another 'something' on but lost. Turned and ran back. Boats were scattered all over but mostly FAR out indicating to me, everybody was searching. There was one boat working real shallow (perch hunting?)
I turned and ran straight out...straight away from the lighthouse. Hit my first walleye at 43'. Turned and ran that depth line westward picking up another. Turned back east, picked up another.
Evening coming on....and with so many boats out beyond me, I turned for home. Loaded tuck and leaving just as evening set.
Total for the day, 5 on the stringer including one about 5 pounds....and 2 silver bass (not on the stringer). Lost at least 3 'others'.
