Hit Starvation today. When I arrived it was a dang mad house where I usually spend my days. Besides Tubedude and the gang of other tubers I bet their was 10 boats out there this morning. I had to fish while cranking my head behind me all day long to make sure that I was not going to hit anybody or cut anybody off. I wish the boaters had that kind of consideration but you cant get everything can ya. Anyways It was a very slow start for things to start heating up, fishing that is not the weather. It was great. Around noon I finally hit a little perch on a bouncer. Hey no skunk I thought to myself. Nobody else had caught much of anything that I saw except TD's first walleye. Then after a little while I caught a very small little guy that made me feel like I was doing alright compared to most. I then heard from the tube gang some yea hah sounds and someone had caught a walleye and another hoot another fish landed by the tube gang that was hanging out in an area that I call the ZONE. After a little while later everybody seemed to disappear except Tubedude. We had a nice little chat and he floated over to a point and caught a little smallie. I was determined to catch one of the fish in the ZONE so I drifted out with the wind into about 25-30 feet of water. No hits dang. I decided to switch blades on the bouncer and drift in one last time before I had to go to work. On my way in I got a slight tap on my rod, then another. I fed the fish a little and he took the bait with force. OHHHHHHH MANNNNNN here we go again I thought to myself and just when all the witnesses in the float tubes were getting out of the water. So I was alone in the boat with another hog of a walleye. I had my camera and took the best pics I could then let her go back to catch another day. I needed to get back to work but decided to fish on the way in. WHACK and another fish on. It seemed like the fish new that I had to go so they decided to make it hard for me to leave. On my way in I got atleast 4 more good bites hooking one more fish and loosing it after a couple seconds. What an hour for me it all happened between 3:15 and 4 o clock PM. Makes me want to fish the evening this weekend. So it ended up being a great day for me and the tuber gang. I think we outfished all the motor boats for sure. Good stuff as always here are some pics[fishon]

Way to go!!! I agree with some of the jerk boaters. We hit willard today and there was about 4 boats, including us, in one area and the dang skiers decided to go right in front of us. I cant believe how rude the people are out there. One weekend we almost got side swiped cuz the dude wasnt paying attention. Then he just waves at us when he notices we're there, keeps on driving, leaving us in their wake. So my dad floored it, well not all the way, and left him in the dust hehe. I sure wish everyone else had the same consideration as some. What i dont get about willard, they got the WHOLE middle of the lake to ski, yet they HAVE to ski right up agains the shore where there are people fishing????

I hate that some boaters can give the ones that ARE respectful a bad name. Not everybody is ignorant just the ignorant ones. There are some boaters that "get it" and some have no clue............ the others are a word that sounds like bricks.............
