[font "Comic Sans MS"][size 2][#002850]Fished Willard with Bait_Caster from 8:30 till 10:00 Saturday evening. We launched out of the South marina and spent the whole time fishing out around the island. The water temps was about 77 degrees and the water was almost glassy smooth (until the big wind came up).
In that hour and a half, we landed 8 wipers and one walleye. Again, the walleyes sure are looking healthy this year. All but one of the wipers were small.
For the first time ever, we had four fish on at the same time. We had two planer boards out and two lines out the back. When the four fish hit, one got off but just a quick, another one got on. Like I say, that quad was a first for me.
We caught our fish on white grubs, chartreuse grubs, a Wal-Mart swim bait spinner combo, and even caught one on a silver needle fish.
Seems like this year the successful lures have been all over the place … kastmasters, rattletraps, soft plastics, needle fish, swim bait, spinners, Rapallas, walleyedivers, spoons, etc., etct.
I think our good luck was, in big part, due to the time of day … at sundown and shortly after.
Buy the way, we seen two small boils too!. I have never seen boils out there this time of year. This whole year out there has been weird in many ways.
All in all, it was not a bad hour and a half of fishing.[/#002850][/size][/font]
