Im not saying I live 40 miles from starvation, just replying to the other post[crazy]. And distance does matter, I do still work for a living and 280 mile round trips for a few fish starts to put a hurt on the wallet[:/]. I wish I could go alot but my starvation trip are to far and few between. I can go out to willard and pretty much catch walleye at will this time of year for dinner, but I still like to put different techniques to use on other lakes that just arent possible out at willard.
And you shouldnt have to pay to night fish at willard. With your state parks pass they wont hassle ya. I night fish out there quite a bit durring the summer and stay till 1 or 2 in the morning with my pass. If your not camping or parked in a camp site they will leave you alone. I know what the guy tells you on the phone, but they have to tell you whats in the rule book. But its a different story on what they enforce. The walleye arent any more active at night than any other fish. They just tend to feed shallow up next to the bank which congragates them and makes em easier to target. But I regularly fish for them in as shallow as 2 ft and as deep as 30ft during the brightest part of the day, just depends on what theyre eating. Use your self a slipbobber setup(with light stick) with a glow bead and a 2 hook harness with a crawler right next to the rocks at night, that has worked well in the past. The crappie and wiper seem to like it as well. [
