Slow day at Willard

[wiperhunter2]

Ira, Robert and I got out on Willard today and fished from 7:30 am to a little after 1pm. Water temp was only two degrees cooler than two weeks ago and the barometer was reading pretty high 30.6, so we did not know what to expect. It was very slow from the start but finally we were able to pick up a perch, then a cat, then a crap, then it really  slowed down. We finally pick up two more perch and a decent cat but that was it for the day. Fished in Freeway bay in 9 FOW, slow trolling fligs with chub meat. Silver and blue were the early favorites, the Pale perch caught them later. Water temps need to cool off before we can expect it to improve much. There were 10 boat trailers in the parking lot when we left, that's a lot for this late in the season.
