Hey,thank you all for the warm welcome
]Just thought I'd add a note about Willard,an observation or two.In the last three days,I have only seen about as many wipers caught in the chanel as I normaly do in the first half hour of fishing on the opening day of the channel in most years.Peaple have been having a little luck just north of the S.W. corner on the west side / some at the N. end / a few near the feed lot,but for the most part until the lake comes up a bit and warms up a bit things will be slow.The water is only 4 to 6 feet deep off shore out to about as far as you can cast.I have been finding the wipers in 12 to 15 feet of water and done some fair catching.The hot for the wally's is about done your about a month late,although we have been catching a few out of the boat.In another week you will see me out there tubing it again though.
