[size 1]Hello everyone!!! I have been a member reading your posts for about a week and figured I had better get out and do some fishing so I can post something useful to everyone.
So here it is I fished willard monday & Tuesday. Monday we launche at the south marina around noon and started by throwing jigs around the bouys with no luck. We dicide since the lake was total glass we would try to get the wipers to bite. We trolled from the south marina by the south side of the island and on to the south east corner. We boated two and missed 4 more. I was trolling a jointed shadrap in 12 to 14 feet of water the biggest was 20" and went just over 4lbs. water temp was 46 on the east side and 49 on the west. Tuesday we started on the south boat ramp contemplating whether to eve launch the boat but since we had all our riain gear we decided we would go for it!!!![sly] I wanted to try for walleye so we trolled from the south marina to the lightpole and only had one on but with the whitecaps throwing us around he managed to tangle the lines and free himself. After that episode I was about done trolling!!!![pirate] So we went to the southwest corner and let the wind do most the work pushing up toward the lightpole. I had the front of the boat about 10' from the dike and we pitched jigs in the rocks. We boated 4 two males & two females (females released). Couldnt take any pictures on the water because of the rain the females were 18 & 20" the males were 17 & 19".I caught the on a chartreuse curly tail 3" with Red head 1/4. Water temp was 46. I also saw a bank fisherman catch two or three using a white curlytail.[/size]
