Fishing Forum

My wife and I decided to spend a morning fishing Willard today.


After a slow start my wife began to school me by catching several fish in a row.


We finally found an area near the light pole where the fishing became a little more friendly to both of us.


We were able to catch a mixture of species and the bites seemed to fluctuate with the wind, clouds and waves. More waves and clouds seemed to trigger more bites.
Today's total catch would include 
4 channel cats (all released)
4 wipers(all released)
9 walleye ( not released)
4 perch (YUM)



All were caught on Flicker Shad crankbaits with # 5 perch and black/silver being the top producers trolled at 1.8 to 2 mph.

Way to get on the fish, I have been having so much luck with different colors I haven't tried those colors this year. Can't believe how many perch are being caught this year. We caught ours in 15' of water out in the open.

That sure is a weird looking wiper you caught.

Thanks for the report.
