Coin toss was for Willard this morning . Arrived at the north marina about 7:00am . Launched the boat and fished Pelican Bay for about 30 minutes with a few hook ups on crappie jigs but lost them . Finally decide to get with it and after some wipers . cruised south toward the feed lot and hooked up on the first wiper at 21" . turned around and hooked another 19" . Cruised over the same spot again and again and nailed 2 more big wipers . All with in the first hour of being on the water . It started to slow down then so I cruised around looking for AFdan and Bearclaw . I don't think I passed them but it is a big water . Headed for the west side for some jigging . Slow on the west side for me . Trolled back to the east to my morning hot spot and hooked up with a nice fish , then all the sudden I looked at my other rod and my planer board is going down deep . Fighting the fish on the rod in hand was a chore so I stopped the boat after I seen my planer board surfaced and it appeared not to have a fish on it now . Reeled in another 21" wiper . What a hoot ! I was having a blast . Decide to try something different on one rod so I put a walleye diver on to get deeper for some eyes . It worked but all I could get was wipers on it . Nailed 3 more before getting back to the north marina . Reeled in the pole with the planer board in and found it was missing a lure on the end . I was wondering why they quit hitting it . Lost several more fish that didn't even get close to the boat , but had my best morning out on the bay today .
