Bearclaw and i decided to hit willard this morng. launched at the north marina at 9:30am fished the marina for awhile and got a couple of hits on some R&D lures. then went trolling out of the marina and trolled all over the lake trying various lureswith no sucess. i put on one of my home made lures and bam got a 20in wiper so bearclaw stole one and withing 10 min he had one on we ended up getting 6 wipers and 2 wallies for the day trolling 2.6mph water temp was 37* 4 of the wipers where over 20in. got off the water about 2:30pm. will get pic posted later

Strong way to start off the boating/fishing season Jason! I'll bet it was fun to get into some early season wipers and eyes.

"[size 1]i put on one of my home made lures" I thought fishing with dynamite was illegal!!! Just Kidding Jason, thats cool that you found some hungry fish. We'll have to get again real soon. I would like to check out your new boat.[/size]

I would like to catch some of those wipers this year.
When post the pictures of the fish, maybe you could show the lure you used
[signature]
WAY TO GO PETTY! You are off to a great start. Just wondering was it the lures, the boat driver or the boat that was trained by the previous owner that got you over the fish. LOL.

[cool]Nice report, Jason! Any size to those 'eyes?
[signature]

I'm coming over one night this week Jasion and we're gonna whip up a bunch of those buggers, thats for sure!!!!

Way to go Jason, sounds like you found a hot lure early in the season. That is hard to do so early in the season, write down every thing you were doing, that info might come in handy later or even early next year.[

[signature]
That info might even be useful right here[
]. Atleast show us a pic of the lure, the suspense is killin' me!
[signature]
nice work guys. but im wondering what size the eyes were? and why they wernt in the photo? i know you didnt put eyes back and just keep the wipers. or did ya pick up the eyes after photos? also how deep were you guys trolling the lures? as far as sharing the hot lure i wont even go there, just need to now the depth of the players. this way i just have to find a good bait not try every bait at every depth. just every lure at the right depth. thanx petty.
[signature]
not sure what depth the lure was at. i can tell you this 3/4oz lure at 2.5-2.9mph it was probly close to the bottom. yes we put the eyes back we figured with the spawn coming it was best to turn them loose. besides we had 6 wipers for the dinner table.
