I think I could swing that. I have the gear, I just need to borrow an auger to drill a hole.

hi chad if you can make it your more then welcome to use my auger as far as were we will end up probably some where on the west side while the south would be a shorter drive it is very shallow and would require a very far walk out to get to fishable water i'll being posting another tread this up coming sun. or mon. for another sound off hope you guys can make it

I might be interested but have never targeted wipers or walleye. What type of rig-up do you have to use to catch these critters.

I'm still planning on coming out there for a few hours but I'm not sure what time I'll get there, I should have a better idea by tuesday afternoon.
As far as what to use, the normal ice fishing gear and jigs will work but you will need line that is 12 lbs or so in case a wiper picks up your jig. The water is murky so I plan on using fireline on one pole and 12 lb mono on the other, Willard is a two pole lake. For walleye I use fireball jigs in a bright color, wipers will bite the same thing but I'm going to try a flying or is it a jigging Rapala. For bait I'll be using minnows and nightcrawlers but I think you could catch perch with meal worms. Hope to see you guys there. WH2

So I need to get a 2nd pole permit right?

If that is what you want to tell your wife, that is fine with me, ha,ha. It gives you an advanage because your odds go up but you don't need one unless you want one for some open water wiper fishing later this year. I buy the second pole permit every year because I fish Willard so much but there are several lakes and rivers that you could use that second pole on. WH2
