[center][/center] Gave up on the hunting and went fishing today. It was a 13 wiper day and between storm fronts it was hot. We only caught one on a Producer but we caught them on a total of 6 different lures. The feed lot was the hot ticket but we also tried the SW
corner where we caught one. We then trolled to the light pole without a hit, Sunday this area was loaded with fish but today (friday) there were few on the fish finder. We then buzzed over to the island and again nothing. Once we got a few hundred yards east of the feed lot the fun started in 12ft of water, my partner had the hot hand with 8 to my 4 wipers. It was one of our best days at Willard this year, I've been trying to get him to join the site and after today
I thought the name Wiperslayer would be a good one. The lure
that caught the most was a lure Predator likes, a rattling rapala. We even tried for the walleye when the wiper catching slowed with no luck although something broke my line and made off with a $7.00 lure as we trolled at 1.5mph. Most of the wipers were caught at 2.7mph but a few were caught casting
close to shore. All in all it was a lot better day to be fishing than hunting. WH2
