We hit Willard about 4 p.m. on Wed. afternoon and trolled the North dike area first. My friend Doug caught his first wiper on a shad rap rapala. That made the trip worth it to see his excitement. We continued trolling to the south and tried lots of different lures and no more hits. We crossed over to the south marina area and it was really shallow there so we went back to the North dike and Doug picked up one more wiper, about 2.6 lbs. We fished until 8:30 p.m. without catching any others, so I GOT SKUNKED again. Oh well. It was still fun. Other fishermen I talked to at the north marina had poor catching today as well. Only one boat had caught more than two. They were fishing along the east side in about 9 feet of water trolling along the shoreline. I took the radio and tried to call for other BFT boats several times, but got no response. Better luck to you all. Acey
