Sure you and your family might find a spot but it's tough to get a larger group in there once things pick up for the summer season.. At least that's been our experience in the past... I think Pat is thinking of fishing mid-week when the crowds aren't as bad, but for the weekends we don't want to be in full combat angling.. Hard enough to get our boats launched and retrieved before the big crowds show up... Just my perspective from events past...Later J PS... the fish will still bite in the end of April, just not as many...
Seems to me then May 21 is a good option, its before Memorial Day there might be a little more traffic than the end of April but we will be launching earlier than most folks and Willard is a big place with plenty of room to fish and it will still be a little chilly for the power squadron to be out in force. If we reserve a shelter then we will have no issues with having a place to meet. The closer we are to the peak will help folks that struggle at Willard to be successful.
