I have had some great mornings out there this time of year. Most times on the north end in the shallow bays and just outside the marina just before sun up.We have all had greater times on Lady Willard than she is showing us this year. Wiper counts are way down and shad numbers are up. Fewer predators and more food equal non-desperate wipers. There have been only sporadic slurps and splashes around the lake this year...with precious few actual short-lived boils.
Just curious what your seeing. they would be easy to spot.

The area around the north marina has also been subject to a lot more human activity this year...with the numbers of people free to hit the lake all through the week. Covid crud, ya know. I'm sure that has some effect on the fish hanging out close to the marina. But there should be more off the campgrounds and along the north dike. Nope. Been there, seen that. Pretty bleak both on sonar and visible surface activity.
