My wife dropped our daughter off at camp this morning, while I worked on cleaning out the garage. My reward for my hard work was getting the pleasure of fishing with my wife Hillary and our dog Scooby at Willard Bay this afternoon. We dropped our lines in about 4:30pm near the light pole and almost immediately hooked up, by 6:30pm we had 12 walleye and a perch in the box and threw back a couple smaller eyes as well and called it trip and headed in.. We got them on bottom bouncers and #7 flicker shad going 1.8-2.2mph. Water temp was 68 degrees today and the bugs where brutal especially the Horse Fly's. The power squadron was in full force, but the fish didn't seem to mind.

Hope they still want to play tomorrow! Two limits in 2 hours. Hard to beat that…and the wife there to boot? Someone is living large!

I marked quite a few in that area this morning but they were not active or didn't like what I or others were using. Quite a few boats moving through there, but I didn't see anyone catching. I gave up and moved. I caught mine in Freeway bay.

Sounds like an afternoon/evening bite. You can't beat success like that.
