Well Beeman2995, Nuggs, and i hit willard this morning from the north marina. Launched at around 7:15 and headed south to their kitty spot. Caught 5 kitties around 3# or so and a ginormous carp. It was pretty slow so we headed out to troll. Got in 16-20' of water and threw on some "go to's", nothing. Headed over to the outlet and started throwing maniacs and other plastics. No bites so i started digging and found a stash of maribou jigs in one of my tackleboxes. Gave one to Beeman and Nuggs(who had never caught a wiper) and we started fishing them. About 15 or 20 minutes later i hooked up on a fat 18 incher. Nothing for another 20 minutes and then a few bumps. All of a sudden Nuggs(Jason) said fish on. At first, we thought maybe a nice eye but it was a beautiful 16 1/2" wiper! Nice job Jason! I am glad you could finally get that off your shoulders. After that a couple good hits but no hookups. I had to leave so back home we went. Bob and Jason decided to stay and i haven't heard from them, so i hope they picked up alot more. Hopefully they will chime in. Heading back out tomorrow with Yper to target some eyes.
