Right? It was crazy, and when it hit it pinned the rod. I thought we had the wiper of our dreams on for a minute. I tried to explain to my family how weird it was to hook a carp in the mouth on a crank bait. By the time I got into an explanation of mouth structures they had all tuned out, just letting the old man ramble on about sucker mouths vs jaws.
I think the way they've redone the entrance is pretty silly. I'm sure there is a reason for it that I don't understand but it seems like it's just an excuse to spend some extra money without making anything actually better.
What are your thoughts on what Willard will do next? It seems like it should be on fire with the water temps and the water level. But it sure hasn't been. I'd really like to plug a few nice wipers before it's full on summer. Willard is usually an early season fishery for me because it turns on before the higher lakes do. But, it's been pretty slow early season based on previous years. I'm torn on whether or not to give it another shot this weekend or give up and head up to the higher lakes.
