Hot at Willard 7-30-20

[TubeDude]

My son and I went out Tuesday morning fishing by 6:30 and quit at 11:00 both ended up with our limit of Cats no walleye or wipers, trolled scaled down versions of my worm harnesses in pink and chartruese with half a crawler at 0.8 MPH in the 16 to 18 foot depths. Lengths went from 18 to 23 inches. Had alot of fun, no bugs but did get bit by a pesky deer fly. Off to Deer Creek next week for a few days.

Well, if you can't pick up any walleyes on Willard, then they are either all gone or at least in a summer slump.  I'm betting you do better at Deer Creek.

No doubt about it.  The kitties in Willard do like spinner dinners.  I have been fishing them a lot this year...targeting wipers and walleyes and getting a few...but usually getting more tugs from catkind.  Attaching some pictures of a new line of bottom bouncer spinner rigs I have been using.  They have foam "flig" bodies...for floatation and more wiggle on the drag...in all the favorite flavors.  The blades are laminated with prism tape on thin plastic bodies...and then painted on the front.  I patterned them after the "Smile" blades, but make one side up and the other side down...resulting in a "snarl" blade.  They really spin at the slightest pull so they are great for "paint drying" speed crawler presentations.  Some I make with the double hook crawler harness setup.  Others I make with a single larger hook...for smaller crawler pieces, small whole minnows or Gulp minnows.
