Congrats. I could use one of those days, been slow for me so far this season. Come on warm weather..
Thanks for the report I'm heading there this weekend so bottom bouncer and a harness for me. Sounds like a good place to start. Oh is the worm harness with a blade?

I'll be at Willard this weekend. I've never used bottom bouncers much, or harnesses for that matter. It sounds like I should give it a try.
How many oz bottom bouncer is it taking to get to the bottom? Most of my rods are probably not heavy enough to handle a big weight. Where can I get some bottom bouncers? Smith & Edwards?

Crankem your killing me, I saw your boat at smith and edwards on my way to the lake. I was hoping to get my little girl in to her first eye today. But it just did not happen. We got on the lake and to the first spot, bouncer had not been down more then 20 sec and had a eye on. I thought to my self were going to have a great day. But we did not get bit for another hr. Pulled in the bouncers and put cranks out, nothing. So back in went the bouncers and over to the island. Picked up one more and missed a couple. But had to get my little girl home.
I don't know if you remember me, but I was talking to you a couple weeks back at willard after a club tourny. I was asking about wyoming walleye waters and I just wanted to say thanks for the information.It was nice of you to share...

Jerkneyes and duckduckgoose:
If you guys really want to learn to fish eyes you should go to one of the local walleye seminars.
But to answer a few of your questions...you don't cast bouncers. The idea of a bouncer is to have it hanging as straight down as possible to keep your bait (worm harness) just off the bottom.
For Willard a 2 oz. bouncer will work and yes you can buy everything you need at Smith & Edwards.
In fact I'll be at the N. marina sunday morning at 6:00 am. If any one wants to show up I'd be happy to show you whats working for me and the correct way to use a bouncer.
Catch a bunch...leave alot.

Nice report Crankem. My nephew is in town. I'd like to take him somewhere with my dad. May head back up there as they seem to still be biting. Thanks for the report

If you guys get a chance to hook up with Rodger it would be well worth your time.
