Yup, you got it....Willard Wednesday Wiper and Walleyes....today, 6-15....Actually pretty slow for us this morning, but I guess ok for our first trip here in about 4 years...Lines in water 0715, guess I was in the wrong area, 'cuz no action for us 'til 0930, after we headed N/W..I wanted to fish that S/W corner, but it seemed too shallow as we were approaching there...really hard finding water over 10 or 11 feet deep, almost anywhere we went...my buddy got hit hard first, slowly dragging in a nearly 2 foot, 5 lb catfish...within 10 mins after that, I got hit on long line and planer, 2 average walleye....thought we were on to something, but going back, circling, crossing through, ... nothing again...changed crankbaits a few times, changed my bottom bouncer crawler harness, even tried changing to T.D.'s left handed cross eyed nite crawler...still no go....until we were heading back, out in the 'Openness', and my planer set with the nite crawler harness got attacked - visciouslly - that planer board went for a ride!...amazing strength and fight...just knew my line would break, but it held, and finally my buddy netted my Wiper of a lifetime, 21", 5.5 lbs...pics and released...great ending to a pretty slow day...very little bird activity seen anywhere, no boils..
