[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2][#002850]Sounds like those water temps have come up FAST! The good early wiper fishing might be on sooner this year. I'm glad I still have a little tin bin boat to get out there.[/#002850][/font][/size]

For now, no one is having a problem launching, we even saw a big pontoon boat out there,a 21 or 22 footer. There is a small sand bar in front of the launch that people with larger boats are getting stuck on. We saw a least one guy that jumped out of his boat to push off that bar. I'm surprised that so many people don't have
or don't use their fish/depth finders when going through shallow water.

Is Willard officially opened for the year? Are they charging the entrance fee's already? You would think they would give a guy a break since there isn't very much water!

I launched out of the north marina. There's plenty of water if you know where to go.

Elkoholic from my understanding the North marina is always open no matter what time of year. So yes you do have to pay as far as I know.
