Wiperslayer and I fished Willard from a little after 6am today until 12:00 noon. Water temp was 71 degrees and we fished in the N/E corner most of the morning using a modified Stanley lure. The hot color was black back, white sided, trolled at 2.8mph.WHITE, WHITE, WHITE, (WHO WAS THAT OTHER GUY THAT KEEPS SAYING THAT). By 9am we had over 20 wipers that we got into the boat and released, we left the area and trolled to the S/E corner. We continued to catch fish until we had 32 wiper and one walleye before we left. We also caught wipers on the producer and wally diver lures. It was our best day ever at Willard, I only wish we had more time, I'm sure it could have been a 50 wiper day. There was a lot of surface activity and some small boils but casting did not catch any wipers. There was a lot of boat traffic today, no surprise, it was getting worse when we left. Most fish were between 16 and 18 inches, as small as 6 inches and as big as 20, here are a couple of the bigger fish.WH2
