Willard if finally improving

[wiperhunter2]

I went out yesterday too after wipers.  In a few hours the only thing I caught trolling cranks was a carp.  At least that was new.  Never caught a carp on a crank.

I didn't feel like there were a TON of boats running around, but there were a lot of them.  The whole parking lot was filled with trailers by the time we got off the water around 13:30.

Did you catch the carp in the mouth or was it snagged? We have snagged a bunch of carp over the years but very few were caught in the mouth. Did you launch from the North marina?

Yeah, we caught it in the mouth.  It ate the crank.  I was really surprised because all the carp I've caught there were snagged.

Yes, launched from the north marina and fished Freeway Bay.

Water temp was 64.8 on my machine, pretty constantly.

Wow, you don't hear of that much, a carp hitting a crank. The reason I ask about you launching from the North or South, is because the South has a huge parking lot and I've never seen it total full. How did you like that new drive into the marina?
