I feel much better now! After being away TDY to DC for a week and for a week before that I couldn't seem to catch anything, it sure felt good to get back out on the pond tonight and feel the rod tip-chatter of a big wiper! My daughter and I went out at 3:30 and came back in at 6:00. We would still be out there but the line of all three reels ended up being unusabel due to some huge tangles. Anyway, about the fishing; we caught four wipers about a mile out north-west and south-west of the island in about 16 feet of water. We didn't see any boils. Even though we tried several different lures, we caught all four on a modified prism shad by Producer.<br><br>From reading some of the posts, and from my decent couple of hours this evening, I get the feeling that maybe the wiper fishing is picking back up and the slump has passed.<br><br><br> --- Old Coot ---<br>Keepin the net wet
