Friday Willard Tri -Fecta - Itcntogofishin - 05-09-2011
Went out Friday launched south marina around 9:00 AM, tried some trolling with no luck. Cruised into the north marina and tried some jigging. Quite a few people were fishing. I used a lightweight pole with 4lb test and a small plastic. Picked up the wiper shortly thereafter. Quite a fight on light tackle. Fished a while longer and picked up the three crappies. Two were 12" to 13" and fat. Jigged a while longer and picked up the male walleye. Looking forward to this front moving out and will give it another try on Wednesday.

SWEET! Nice mix! Looks like the big guys are following the little guys in to see whats going on. [
] Looks like the crappie spawn is well under way with all the reports coming in. Thanks for the post and good luck on Wed.

Concur - nice report. I'm with Roghet - makes me wanna don the skunk-resistance suit, and give it another try.
So - are the crappie moving into the marinas? Do they hit both, or seem to focus more on the N. Marina?
Need to try some new cranks and see if I can find some willing Post-Spawn walleyes, or early season wipers getting frisky. Gather they are going through a pseudo spawn themselves.

Super post, thanks for sharing.
Were you fishing the jig under a float, vertical jigging, or doing the slow retrieve thing? I've had better luck under a float most of the time for the crappie.

slow retrieve but tomorrow I'm going try under a slip bobber and slow retrieve.
