Took the family out to willard tonight for the last few hours of daylight. Left the marina about around 7:45. Just as we were leaving the bouys I saw some fish jumping out of the water so I made a few casts and got nothing. We then headed north west for a bit. I was trying a couple different things with the outboard so I was goofing around for the first little bit. By the time we got seriuos we only had about an hour left. Threw out the lines and started trolling and looking for the boils. My son ended up catching a nice fat 19" wiper. We then started seeing some boils but I could never get close enough to them before they would quit. I tried speeding toward them and them drifting into them with the motor off. Sure wish I had an electric! I tried that a few times but the fish always seemed to be about 100 yards out.
I was wearing than dang cursed hat of mine so thats why I didn't get anything! All in all we saw about 7 different boils and saw a couple groups of 6-10 boats all huddled up, but I didn't get very close to them.
