I want to understand the science behind how, when, they start. Ive been out a few times these past several weeks and haven't seen any(all morning hours) maybe too soon, or maybe due to many shad dying and giving the wiper a steady supply of food? If anyone has more information regarding wiper boils, please let me know?
Every year is different but we have seen few boils in recent years, likely because there is so many shad and wiper numbers are way down. About 4 years ago the DWR starting stocking fewer wipers and more walleye. With low water conditions, you never know what might happen this year but don't count on seeing any boils, hope I'm wrong. Good luck and welcome to the site.
