[ol][li]It was such a nice day I had to hit the water some place so I picked on Willard...
I got there at about 11:30 and then found out I left me boat keys at home, so moving around very far was out...
I started out with lip less baits and cranks with no luck, but was seeing marks on my graff..
I fished for about two hours with only snagging one shad and no bites at all....
Then I started working my way back and thought I would try the drop shot and gulp minnow, and the first marks I seen on my graff I dropped on them and hooked up a big carp...I was going to take a picture but left the camera in the truck....
I worked the area and got a catfish about 2 1/2 to 3 lb and then found some smallmouth bass one was 14" the other was 15 1/2" then I hooked one fish that pulled me in the brush and broke me off...Just out from the front of the marina I got another cat maybe 1 1/2 lb and two more SM bass and a LM bass at 17" and a crappie...
Was at the ramp and made a few drops and got another carp and another SM bass at 16"...
I keep the two cats and the last carp long enough to get my camera and a picture then released them but carp are hard to make a live release they just seem to sink to the bottom even when I do the TD release...
No wipers but still had a good day..
