This year Willard is producing some very healthy wipers.
I caught this bad boy today on a KCT brass with black splatter paint at 2.4 mph. Sorry the photo didnt turn out so well.
I caught others on traditional Rapalas but not as big. I used the shad rap for scale in this picture.
I love fishing on my own but it brings 4 major problems:
1. Pictures of fish are never as cool as ones that include a good buddy holding the fish.
2. Much more difficult to launch your boat, especially at north Willard this year.
3. You can't share fuel costs.
4. No extra lunch to dip in to when your buddy falls asleep!
Unless there are some major changes in anticipated precipitation, I fear we will be done boating at Willard and Utah Lake this year by July 4.

It was good talking to you out there Shane, what time did you end up leaving yesterday? After we saw you, we headed South, with no more fish caught until we got ahold of Old_Coot. He was trolling near you and was doing good, so we headed back toward the North dike by time we got to that area, you had left, this was around 1pm. Did you tip the KCT brass with black splatter with a night crawler? If you come up this way again solo, let me know, if I'm not out fishing, I'd love to get out with you again. Thanks for posting your report and pic.

Thanks again for calling me on the radio, it is always great to hear a familiar voice.
I headed over to the north end and then left around the same time. I tried to call but figured you bailed also.
I ended up with 9 fish but unfortunately no walleye for dinner. I released all 9 wipers.
I tipped the spinner with a whole crawler with the last inch pinched off.
I will let you know the next time I head up alone.
Take care, Shane

Anytime you need someone to take a picture of you holding the fish, I'd be happy to come along and snap some pics for you...
I might want to fish too though, Hope that's not a problem

Sounds like a great day on the bay!! We were out at the same time. But we only managed one fatty.
