Busy Willard Today 5/26

I arrived early and launched about 7:00 a.m. from the south Marina. At 7:15 I caught a wiper, then went 3 hours without catching another fish. I then moved to another part of the Bay. At 10:30 a.m. a switch was flipped and I proceeded to boat six walleye and missed three others in a half an hour period. It was incredible! Then I switched over to try to catch some catfish, but could not locate any close to the dike. I pulled some fligs for a while and caught one walleye which I turned loose. After that I switched over to pulling some crankbaits again and ended up catching one more wiper. Overall it was a slow day except for that half hour. The fish cleaning station at the South Marina was clogged and unusable.

Really?  I guess there is a first for everything.

Way to go Paul, sounds like a great day, even if the cleaning station was messed up. Sad people can't do something as simple as turn on the grinder before putting fish down it. It's pretty crazy how fast you can put fish in the boat, if conditions are right. How big were the wipers?

The cleaning station sewer is backed up, there is fish chunks all over the ground where it got forced up through the holes in the man hole cover. This evening I advised the camp ground host to bag it and turn off the power and water until they can get a truck out to rotor rooter the line tomorrow, I fillet my fish this evening and on Saturday and tossed the caraccas in the dumpster.

Wipers were right around 14".

It was really nasty for sure. I didn't even try to fillet tham there, just did it at home.
