After DAV event at Strawberry, my new friend Daneil Westerfield had mentioned he would like to catch a Wiper. I called him up and he was up for the challenge. I met him yesterday morning at 05:30 at his house, he was waiting outside by the mailbox for me. I asked him how long he had been standing outside and he said he was out there since 05:00, he didn't want me to miss his house even though I told him I would be there at 05:30. We got to Willard and were the 3rd boat there. Left the south marina and headed toward freeway bay. I had two poles trolling and Daniel had one. I gave him my secret lure on his pole and I was using similiar crankbaits as well. To make a long story short, he caught the first 2 wipers and a catfish and I was at zero. I finally caught up to him and then we didnt keep track anymore. Fishing was great and he wanted some fish for a fishfry because one of his friends is getting ready to depart to Afganistan soon... Thanks for the company Daniel (75 yrs old)
We both lost about 5 fish coming to the boat also.
PS: all these wipers had empty bellies, nothing at all in their stomachs. .
