Petty4life and I fished Willard last night from 5:30 to 9:30, water temp was 78 when we arrived and went down to 75 before we left. There were a lot of people out there trolling and casting, once the boils started. The wipers were all over the surface tearing the shad up and we were able to put the electric motor down and get right in there. The wipers were popping the surface and even jumping out of the water as they chased the shad, it was a awesome site. I don't remember seeing the wiper boils this early in the season before, it usually happens in the fall. The main part of the boil was over in ten minutes but the surface activity went on for close to 30 minutes. We ended the day with 5 wipers and three walleye, it should have been more if I had brought my kastmaster lures but it was still a fun way to spend the evening. WH2
