I marked fished randomly with not even a sniff from any of my offerings. I gave it a good 3 hours of using floating jigs tipped with worm, regular jigs with plastics, even chunked some crankbaits. Oh well maybe next time. Nice kittys Pat.

Up until a little after 10 am I was beginning to think I would blank too. I also marked a fish here and there but generally the individual fish are not as active as when there are multiples...and it gets competitive. Not many anglers are getting much love from Willard yet this year. But if the weather patterns ever stabilize a bit and the temps climb above 65 and move toward 70 I think it will really take off.
It's been a while since we fished together. I'd love to meet up with you on Willard and see if we can gang up on some walleyes and wipers when the conditions get better. Shoot me a PM when you can make it and we will do something.

Glad you like the shows. I have a good time making them and try to include some useful tidbits in each one. I'm planning to do one soon on "Catfish From Hook To Pan"...videoing several different rigs, baits and techniques for catching them. And then I will show a couple of alternate ways of filleting them and prepping them for the table. Finally, I will show several recipes and different ways of cooking them. I have done a lot of demos at the cleaning stations. And I have also put on several catfish feeds for some sizeable groups. Recently, since getting my video camera, I've been getting requests for something on video.
Hollywood? No thanks. I spent a lot of my formative years living in Orange County, California and developed "connections" with some of the Hollywood world. Saw and heard a lot more than any impressionable young person should be exposed to. Thankfully, I went the other direction...and settled for being an angling addict.
Jokes? I claim to have 3,417 jokes in my humor repertoire...and still have total recall. (Pornographic memory, ya know?) You don't wanna be anywhere around when I get on a roll. But I've always said that a sense of humor is better than no sense at all.
