Ya know, I used to think structure was at a premium out at willard, untill I put the structure scan unit on the boat. That lake has always been tough to figure out but it seems tougher actually seeing all of the structure there is. Its usually pretty easy on lakes with alot of contour (like starvation) to figure out how the fish are relating to the structure. The fish seem to relate to the structure at willard the same but on a much larger scale. I watched a buch of walleye and wiper hold off a 2ft contour no more than 25 yds long early this spring. It was easy pickens for about 3 hours then nothing. It was cool watching them disperse 150ft off both sides with the side scan. But what held em there and what made em leave? I may never figure that lake out[frown]. But... I am building a pretty cool contour map with the side scan. I have the whole screen loaded with waypoints to differnt rock piles, sunken logs (a bunch right out of the s.marina), ridges and ledges. Maybe I'll see ya out there TD ice fishin and we can swap willard 'theorys'[cool].
