Willard Bay this week - FatBiker - 09-24-2020

I made a couple trips out of the south marina this week. Tuesday morning I was on the water by 8 AM and left for a Dr appt at 10:30. Bodybcount was 10 kitties that morning all caught dragging and drifting marinated chicken just outside of the marina and then through the Feedlot. TDs silver/blue flig on one rod and a Santee rig on the second. Both worked well. Wednesday afternoon I was on the water at 2 PM and left for dinner about 5 PM.  Much the same results in both locations using the same rigs.

Larry,  I was on Willard yesterday from about 730 to 1130.  I drifted out from the feed lot. Very slow drift in almost dead calm water. Was having a repeated text conversation with the wife and missed several hit and runs. 
Did manage to boat and release 1 cookie cutter kitty before I left.  

I was  the first and only boat on the water from launch time to about 8:30, and don't think there were more than 10 or 12 rigs in the parking lot when I left.

I make my own. Quick and cheap.  Recently added rattles and sinker slides. Both seem to help a little.[Image: IMG-20200925-061832058.jpg]

In my experience catfish are a little picky. I use my ex wife's secret sauce. That woman and her lawyer were so mean it's in the divorce decree that of i ever share that recipe my alimony goes up $75 a month. Guess I should have gotten my own lawyer.

Forest. It can be pretty hit and miss especially when it's calm. .5 MPH seems to be the sweet spot for me and it takes some searching to find the right water depth.

May have met you as we were heading out about 11 or so from the south marina not sure what your boat looks like. There were two tubers fishing near the mouth when we headed out. I havent fished it since the end of July. We had a pretty slow afternoon only 2 cats boated and a couple lost. We fished the west side and around the island.
