well i believe that is what this site is for also therefore ill post where i was etc. my concern is again all the wipers being taken out already and not getting a chance to grow as big as the ones i was getting into. i counted over 40 monday night taken out. dont get me wrong i think it is good. just this year though seen so many places like pineview where spots held so many fish and you go back a week later and they are all gone. crappie in pineview is a great example.
well i was fishing the southeast corner. this is my honey hole since im primarily a shore fisherman but decided to make the drag with all my gear and tube up the dike and over. the big wipers were about 2 feet from shore and wanted it exactly parallel to the shoreline. i caught wipers and smallies on the willard special, producer shad rap prism. and the other wiper special, 3 1/2 inch curly tail grub on a orange jig head. no special technique or anything just reel and set the hook. i did find that deeper out the fish were all sitting about 3 or for 4 feet suspended that day. i think because of the 3 foot waves i was riding did it haha. i know one thing when the waves are crashing the shoreline get parallel as close as possible to the shore and cast that has been my greatest producer. hope this helps.
