[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2][#002850]Larry, a good friend of mine from work and Tyler, my 14 year old neighbor, and I all made a morning run around Willard Bay today. We wanted to get out before the wind and low pressure comes in this week. At the launch ramp we ran across Elkaholic and compared notes about what was working these days. Good to see ya Travis.
We launched at about 6:30 AM and came back in around noon. We had a great time fishing to say the least. We were targeting the wipers but couldn’t seem to keep the walleyes off. I heard later today that some folks fishing the same time today as us got 30 wipers in their boat. Boy, I wish I knew the trick(s) to do that!
The water temps were in the low 70’s and bugs weren’t too bad today.
Larry landed the first fish of the day and his first ever wiper. He was very surprised how a fish that size could fight so hard. [/#002850][/size][/font]

The next fish that came in was, once again on Larry’s line ... a nice walleye.

Then Tyler pulled in a couple nice walleyes and a couple wipers.

The trophy for the day was a nice 21 inch eye that Tyler landed during a 45 minute breezy walleye chop.

All of our walleyes were pretty healthy and will make some pretty nice dinners tonight. Tyler’s wipers are all going into chevechi.
All total for the morning, Larry boated one wiper and three walleye. Tyler boated 2 wipers and 2 walleyes. We only released one small wiper and the rest are all for some yummy table fare this week.
