It treated us pretty good today but we had to do a lot of hunting to find some willing fish. Willard is a big lake an there are times I'll even smell the skunk because I just can not cover enough water, in the time I have on the lake. This time of the year with the water temps in the 70ies, you can almost always find some fish that will bite if you cover enough water. They can be in one spot on day and gone the next and that was the case today. We did not find good groups of feeding fish until 1pm today but when we easily doubled our total fish for the day in just two hours after being on the lake for 5 hours before. There are a couple of things that will really help, get a GPS if you don't have one and mark the location of every fish caught while trolling, then use that info as starting points, when looking for active fish. The fish are at certain locations for a reason, usually some type of food in that area. Second trust the lures you have caught fish on before. When I'm not catching fish, I always run lures that have produced for me in the past, then on my second rod, I switch lures every 20 to 30 minutes until I find one that works.
