Hit willard this evening (yes TubeDude, AGAIN, lol). A lot more people there than last week.
Arrived there about 3:30pm, trolled freeway bay with no success. Drove around a bit and then about 6pm decided to go back into the south east corner and let kait kitty fish while we waited. Kait caught one little kitty and missed several others. About 6:40 we decided to drive around again. Headed to freeway bay, alot of boats over there, but nothing to see. Headed for the light pole, by the time we got to the light pole, boils started. The boils were popping up all night until we couldnt see anymore. There was one point, right before we left, there were boils on every side of the boat. They didnt last long at all, few seconds.
Kait caught her limit of wipers (6), on top of the one kitty. Biggest being 22" and almost 4lb. She had a blast reeling them in, they all gave her a good fight.
Dad and me on the other hand.....we got SKUNKED. can not believe it, but we did. I was helping kait net and unhook her fish so I didnt mind at all.

She definitely did school us. She did say that she wasnt reeling that fast. So maybe we were going too fast? thats all i can think of.

Most of the time I reel fast the first cast, If I don't get a hit I cast again let it fall like a wounded shad and and reel,let it fall again and then reel it in and make another cast doing the same thing. she may have been a little deeper than you two reeling slower. just got to figure out what they want and repeat it.

It was just meant to be Kaitlynn's big day. She had so much fun and was a pleasure to see her catch all those fish. Holly and I just got buck fever because those boils were all around us and Kait kept her calm.
Was a great night

I know how it is when the wipers are all around you and you're not sure where to cast to next. The catching will just get better for at least another month and even into November if the weather stays warm. You and Holly will get your turn, I'm sure.

I have never seen anything like it in my life.
I am also trying to learn my new Terrova bow mount and it is a lot differant steering. We should have had 60+ fish is we or (I) wasn't so panic. But thats how we learn.
But really, seeing Kait fight those fish made my day. I do not want to see her loose interest in fishing. And seeing Holly's excitement over Kait catching them was fun too.
It is all about the kids and grand kids
