"I'm surprised you aren't getting wipers on you flig and worm setup, Two years ago I caught lots of cats and wipers on a slow drift in that area."
[#0000FF]Wiper numbers are way down. There have been some years when I have caught the heck out of wipers all year on even the small tube jigs I throw for crappies. And I almost always get them on minnows, when they are around. But there have been far fewer fish the past couple of years. The remaining large fish of the predominant year class are likely to be gone by next year...and the upcoming smaller fish are not very prevalent either.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Last year I caught no wipers from my tube. This year the only one I have landed was while washing lures behind a boat. My average in years past was at least two wipers on almost every trip between May and October.[/#0000FF]

[#0000FF]Believe me, if the wipers were around they would eat fligs. White bass love 'em.
