Willard friday night

[fish_or_die]

Hit willard tonight with a buddy. We started out of the south marina and trolled along the south end all the way up to the light pole without a bite, although I was marking alot of fish on the finder. Got over to the light pole and ever other fisherman on the lake was out there casting toward shore but I didn't see anything rising around them with my binos and no one with a fish on.
We started seeing alot of one/two splash rises so we just started drifting along and casting at the occaisonal rise, like everyone else was doing. The guys next to us caught a few but we just couldn't seem to get one to bite on anything under the surface, even on casts that would have been a sure hook up on a striper for me last week got nothing, kinda frustrating. FINALLY i hooked up on a top water popper which made me , man those things are fun! [] As the light was fading another one detonated on my popper, making my fishing buddy a little mad at me, but oh well!
On the ride back I snapped a pic of one of those amazing sun sets that the fishing gods treat you to every now and then, not a bad send off into the new school year
