Tough at Willard

[obifishkenobi]

Last two trips have been really slow for me at the bay. Managed a few small cats last night and that was it saw a few shad breaking the surface but couldn't get anything to bite. I could blame the moon,or the heat, or lots of shad, or low water, but it's just fishing. The least amount of wake boats I've seen in a long time which makes it nice. One of my friends hit bottom coming in the south Marina on the red Bouy side. Not to much damage to his prop. Just beware the depth at the dock was  still at 3 ft.

I fished Willard last Friday and we spent the first couple hours pulling cranks and bottom bouncers from Pelican beach through freeway bay to the feed lot with no success. Then changed tactics to fishing fligs tipped with chub and fairly quickly put two limits of cats in the boat. I’m done pulling cranks and bottom bouncers until next spring and will stick to fligging while keeping an eye out for wiper boils this fall.
