Frozenover and I hit Willard Saturday morning.
I was trying out my new poontoon.
We were on the water by 6 am and left at 12:30 pm.
James caught 8 cats and kept 5, I caught 3 and kept 2.
The fishing was slow, I was expecting a wiper or two. I only saw one boil and it was very quick.
I kept seeing fish on the finder, I tried jigging straight down for them without any luck.
The skiers made sure we could see them and they were showing off their skills in close proximity to us. At times going in between us.
We were down in the southwest corner of the lake. I was hoping for a lot less traffic.
The other fishermen were talked to, weren't doing any better.
The poontoon was fun, I little hard to get used to at first. I am used to the apron on the float tube keeping things secure. The poontoon does have bigger pockets and I was able to tie my tackle box and an icechest on the platform on the back. Both platforms have their advantages.
For now I am going to stick with the poontoon for a while.
