[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008080][size 2]Hit Willard with Bait_Caster at about 7:30 Friday morning. Wasn't dificult at all to launch. Winds were keeping the white caps constant. Lots of splash without rain gear made for some wet clold clothes. [/size][/#008080][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008080][size 2]BC picked up the one and only fish that morning ... a nice hard fighting 3 1/2 lb wiper. That wiper came in about 8:30 about a mile north-east of the light pole. BC caught it on a modified Prism Shad.[/size][/#008080][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008080][size 2]Seen lots of sonar activity about 100 yards away from the west dike all up and down the dike ... constant. But no other bites. Came in about noon.[/size][/#008080][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008080][size 2]Went back out again with a friend from work from 4 PM till 7:30. ..... nothing .... Talked to some other guys out there and they had nothing either. Pretty slow.[/size][/#008080][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008080][size 2]Why was it so slow? Here is my guess (you know me, I'm always trying to figure out the formula): Bright clowdless full moon . + . a low pressure front that moved in . = . slow fishing.[/size][/#008080][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008080][size 2]Launching in the after noon was a bit of a pain because some jerk launched his boat and then left his rig right there in the way. Ya got to wonder sometimes just what people are thinking.[/size][/#008080][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008080][size 2]Due to some slick wet spinning, I had to use 4x4 to get out both times.[/size][/#008080][/font]
[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008080][size 2]I suspect that wiper fishing will pick up pretty good in the next two weeks.[/size][/#008080][/font]
