Anyone catching fish at willard last night or tonight? i would have like to have gone out but no time. My gut tells me they should be killing them out there the last two days.

well i'm not a fishing expert (Yet[sly]). But not going out and trying different lure's, weather conditions, and other stuff like that sure won't contribute to the learning process. I better go out there. where is a good area for a float tube where skiers usually don't go around much?

I don't think there is any place like that on Willard, unless you are in one of the marines[].
Tubedude usually gets out there in the early morning hours (6am) and is off the water by noon or so. It also helps to go out during the week instead of the weekend. WH2

We did alright last weekend. Wanted to go out this saturday again, but the wind is suppose to be blowing 16mph [:/], we might just be going to the air show instead. Going to have to keep watching the weather and see if it changes [laugh]

[cool][#0000ff]Well, you could try the parking lots. No skiers, but lots of trailers.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Oh yeah, the pig farm is usually skier-free. But it is tough to launch a tube.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Seriously, anywhere you can launch a tube there will be the POWER SQUADRON. But, as WH2 suggested, you can avoid a lot of that by going early or going during the week. No guarantees. I have been buzzed at daybreak in the middle of the week by the only boat on the lake.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]After the shad spawn (this month) the shad fry will be looking for shelter. Some collect along the rock dikes. Others go back into the marinas. Of course the predators follow and you can get some good action right inside the marinas from your float tube without having to fight off the noisy crowd. I have had some great days fishing boils inside the marina when all the boats launch and blast off out into the open lake. It can be like having your own private pond sometimes.[/#0000ff]
