Like others have said, the inlet channel isnt always the best place to try and catch walleyes at Willard. During pre-spawn the fish usually are not to far away from where they end up spawning. The SW corner, SE corner of freeway bay, and light pole are good areas the walleyes will stage in. I personally like to throw blade baits, rippin raps, and 3-4" swimbaits. Watch a few youtube videos on how to fish blades and rippin raps and you'll be surprised at how much more effecting they can be during pre-spawn than traditional slow rolling stuffs.
