Willard Wipers with mussels

[thefishinguy]

After watching the Wiper Seminar I've been wanting to go to Willard and try it out for wipers thinking they would be active with the water temperature warming up. I got there around 7:45 and fishing till 11:30. I fished with some mussels on a size 2 hook on a leader with a swivel and an egg sinker above it and even used some small rubber bands to keep the mussels on. I didn't catch a single wiper or any fish at all. There were some other anglers there who didn't catch any either and a DNR officer said it was really slow. There were a lot of carp hitting the surface around the shallows though.
