[black][size 3]Fished Willard on Saturday from sometime in the AM till sometime in the PM - Forgot my clock, camera and a couple of other nice things to have. But, it was my first boating trip of the year, so, that would be kind of expected. [/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]As I left the South Marina, a speed boat gunned it and speed off to the right towards the feed lot. They got maybe 50 yards before hitting something underwater - needless to say, they were quite surprised. I think they might consider a sonar in the future. And I doubt they did much more boating for the rest of the day.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Fished alot, missed a few(probably wipers), released a few(Smallmouth bass) and took home a few(Wipers, channels, walleyes). Fished all the normal spots and did OK in some - others did not produce. Tried a variety of methods(Casting, Trolling, jigging, laying offerings on the bottom) - some worked, some did not.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]Met three BFT'ers as I was coming back to the South Marina, but don't know their names - I was paying attention to the very shallow depths and couldn't hear much over the sound of the motor. Two were wading and fishing by the marina entrance and another was on a pontoon boat in about the same place.[/size][/black]

[black][size 3]Here some of the fish I took home to dinner(didn't get them all in photos).[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]4 of the Wipers. [/size][/black]
[inline "Saturday Wipers.JPG"]
[black][size 3]1 male, 1 female, and 1 it.[/size][/black]

[black][size 3]26 + inch walleye.[/size][/black]
[inline "Saturday Big Eye.JPG"]
[black][size 3]All in all a great day on the water.[/size][/black]
[black][size 3][/size][/black]
[black][size 3]P.S. To those BFT'ers I met - Sorry I didn't get your names - I was the solo guy in the green boat wearing the BFT shirt.[/size][/black]
