There are more walleye in willard this year than the last few years. Cant believe the age classes ive come up with so far. Just because there were a ton piled up on the island last year (a well known spot that was marked with a bouy) doesnt mean theyre not still around. The amount of fish taken out of the inlet didnt even put a dent in the overall population of the lake. The inlet doesnt even account for small a percentage of the spawning age fish. There were probably more walleye taken off the island over a month last year than the inlet even had in it. The walleye bite spoiled alot of folks last year. All I can say is welcome to walleye fishing, and willard bay.
The state is going foward with plans to improve walleye fishing in the state, which includes stocking. They are even looking at sauger and sterile walleye. The fish are there, change your tactics and forget last year. The bite is actually back to more classic willard than the past couple of years.The catch rate will decrease when they are scattered, thats any lake and any fish. Conditions are drasticly different from last year. I have caught some on the island, and other places. Walleye are more than willing to bite if the bait is in front of them and presented correctly. Walleye arent scared of water less than 7ft, but most walleye anglers are.....[fishin]
