Hit Willard tonight after the wind and rain settled down. Trolled south of the light pole, about 100 yards off of the dike, in 16 feet of water. We boated 3 Wipers, missed 2 others. It was a little slow tonight. We talked to quite a few other fishermen who didn't catch anything. The magic color tonight seemed to be blue back and a white belly rattler. My dad had the lions share of the fish, he was using some no-name brand rattler. I only had one hit on the Prism tonight. Not the best night out, but we did catch a few. We tried various trolling speeds, but we only could get hits at 3.6 MPH. Hope some other BFT ers had a good day fishing. The water level is dropping fast, with only 2-3 feet of water in the south marina channel, launching is becoming a hazard. Another week or two and the only boat you could launch from the south would be a flat duck boat with a mud motor! Be careful with your props when you go.
