I've been reading a lot of posts lately on Willard so I decided to blow the bullhorn and assemble Team Mowhawk to go see what all the fuss was about. Me and Ninja got to the lake around 6:30 and started cruising to Ninjas secrete spot. Saw a few mini boils on the way and tried to catch a few out of them with no luck. We got to the spot and started to cast into the bank with cranks and had a couple other poles rigged with jigs dragging behind us. I was casting a lipless crank and ended up hooking into a nice whiper. After that things got nuts. We started reelin in fish left and right, we had fish on our cranks the same time we had fish on our drag lines it was awesome. Riggs set the hook hard on something and reeled in, ended up being someone elses line with a bonus whiper attached to it. Apparently 4 lb test just won't cut it when fishing for whipers. The action continued as dusk set in. Ended up being a pretty good night, landed walleyes, smallies, cats, whipers and a full stomach of bugs.
