[quote fsh4fun05] Good job on the bass, I haven't heard much about them this year. Hopefully slow fishing for the wipers right now equals big wipers next year.[/quote]
[cool][#0000ff]Thanks. Both the smallmouth and the largemouth suffered from the low water years. Not much structure in Willard when the water drops below the rocks and brush. But, they are still in there and should bounce back with continued good water levels.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Bigger wipers? Yep. There were quite a few larger than average wipers last year (over 5#) with several approaching 10#. Seems to be quite a few hefty ones this year too, and if the smaller ones keep chowing down on all the available forage they will put on weight fast.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I am predicting that the state record will be broken this fall and again next spring.[/#0000ff]
