Catching has really slowed down at Willard but I'm still not willing to give up. ZUKI_BLUE and I got out to Willard yesterday to meet a good breeze and 1.5 to 2 ft waves. Slowly made our way to the Island where I picked up the first fish of the day a standard size cat that took the hook all the way down in the throat, so we keep it, a little while later Gene hooked the bottom but then it started moving, took a good 10 to 12 mins to get it in and since the water was really stained, because of the wind, we had to wait until it was beside the boat before we could get a look at the beast, see pic. Later we picked up a decent walleye and another cat. Not sure if the cool down affected the shad on this trip but we did not see nearly as many, as earlier in the week.
