[cool][quote grzbear10]Sounds like you had fun. I guess if I can drag my lazy butt out of bed we will be up to Willard at 6 am +-
I would really like to learn how to fish that lake.
So you are telling me I didn't need to paint their left eye blue? That was alot of work[

[cool][#0000ff]BOTH eyes gotta be blue...and not just any blue. That will remain a TD secret.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I have fished Willard since the mid 1970's. While I do claim to know a bit about it, I am just smart enough to not take it for granted. Sorry ladies, but I think Willard must be female. As soon as you think you got it figured, it changes on ya.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]This year has been a doozy. Since the lake filled up again it is literally a new lake. Not only have all the best spots of the last two years become deeper...and different...but even the places and patterns of past years are not the same as they used to be under similar high water conditions.

[#0000ff]Some things stay the same. Find the fish, present the same lures the same way as before and you can usually score some fish. But, I
when fellow anglers can't figure out why EVERYTHING is not the same as before. Hey folks, after 2 - 3 years of low water conditions we are fishing for fish that probably weren't around in the old days. And, if they were they do not have memories. They don't know how we expect them to act. They are learning a new lake just like we are.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]That being said, there are some areas that traditionally produce and methods that have stood the test of time...through all kinds of changes in the lake. I prefer to fish from my float tube, but I ain't proud. I would be happy to climb in your boat with ya someday and at least show you what I THINK I know. I'll even bring some left handed blue eyed minnows...maybe even the same in crawlers.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Shoot me a PM and maybe we can plan an assault.[/#0000ff]
