[cool][font "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"][black][size 1][#0000ff]Met up with Flycasting about 6 AM in the NE corner at Willard Bay this morning. Light breeze and a lot of bugs in close, but they thinned out as we kicked away from shore in the 75 degree water.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]We ganged up on the wipers and threw everything in our combined lure boxes. No wipers wanted to play. The best we could do all morning was one long line release apiece and a couple of other bumps.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]On the other hand, the minnow-munchin' kitties were ready to play. I went through two bags of minnows...keeping eight cats and tossing more than that back in. But, no wipers on minnows either.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Recreational boating traffic was not nearly as bad as we thought it might be on the holiday weekend. Fishermen were worse than skiers, with some of them trolling right between us two tubers. You'd think they would know how to use their steering, if not their sense of sportsmanship. I almost had to lift my legs out of the water a couple of times to keep from getting snagged.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Oh well, no wipers but a nice morning on the water. Good to meet ya Flycasting. We'll have to hook up again. Only next time, let's go where they have stocked the lake better.[/#0000ff]
