willard w/ ol coot

[fishboy2]

[size 1]me and road got to go up to willard andfish with old coot, today. We were on the water around 6:30 and off around noon. We started off using the usual wiper gear, shad shaped plastics. We were heading over to the light pole when the wind kicked up and in coots boat we did not want to be out there so we headed in for better water. We got to the feed lot and just past it coot hooked into a good sized wiper, which he handed to me to let me feel a wiper and land one. that was it for a while. we headed out to the lightpole because the wind had died down and about half way there he hooked up again, and again he handed me the rod to reel em in. we got out to the light pole and I hook up, and landed the biggest fish of the day. While i was bringing in the line coot pulled out his camera and the batteries were dead so he fumbled around and put in some new ones. he got some good pics and will post them on later tonight or later. the next on to hook up was coot with a nice walleye, it weighed 3 pounds and was 23 inches long, since road had not had a fish he let road land that one. Then finally after a long awaited spell road hooked up to a wiper, it was really small compaired to the rest of them though so we let him swim away. we totalled out with four fish today. I would like to say thank you to coot for letting us ride aboard on his boat ad have a great time with our first wipers ever.

I dont know what the fuss about wipers was though, yeah i would love to comeback on a really hot day, but i thought that they fought slightly bettter than a bass out of deer creek.

All in all a great day on the water, I even saw AFDAN out there and chatted with him for a time. [/size]
