Fished out of Sterling State Park. Went straight out to a spot I have off of Fermi in 18 to 20 fow. Water temp was 68 to 70. Mayflies were present in patches here and there. Water was off colored with about 3 foot of visability and floating weeds were scattered about but were no problem. Started fishing at 7:30 and picked up a 17 incher in about 5 minutes on a rainbow hotntot off an inline back 110 feet. Nothing more came off the rainbow so I switched to gold w/black back and popped 3 more very quickly on that color. Was able to pick up my 5th on a green/chrome harness with a gulp crawler off a bottom bouncer. He came at 11:00 and that was it for me. The `eyes ranged from 17 up to 25 inches. Also caught 8 silver bass and lost 3 other walleyes as well. The radio indicated that almost everyone was catching. The crankbait bite is on now lets keep those westerlies coming
