I have been to Willard the last few days just trying to catch wiper and found that the purple rattle trap is working well for just wipers.. I did catch one walleye but the rest were all wipers. My grandson and I brought home 5 wipers today from a 2 hour trip this morning fishing mostly trolling out front of the light pole a few hundred yards from shore. We did catch one Crappie on a number 7 glass shad. Surprised me.
Time to try out the batter recipe!!![cool]

We were having the same "problem" but it was somewhat solved by letting out more line to get the cranks down a little deeper where the wallies hang.
If you're trolling 2.5-3 mph, you'll want to let out between 120-140 feet of line to get that #7 shad rap down 12-13 feet, depending on what kind of line you're running.
Berkley's Flicker Shad runs a little deeper than their Rapala counterparts and run 11-13 feet which is absolutely perfect for Willard this year.
