[cool][font "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"][black][size 1][#0000ff]TubeBabe and I decided to try for some wipers at Willard Bay on Thursday. We launched just after 6:30 AM. Threw all kinds of plastics, feathers and hardbaits. TubeBabe had one good hit. That's it. I got twin 20" wipers. One at 8 AM and the other at 9 AM. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Missed the hit at 10. Probably because of the boating idiots. Some guy in a beat up old wiper chaser (Petty4Life) came right up to me and caught my line on his motor. Broke me off. He gave me a plain wrapped package and thought that might buy me off.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Had another guy start to go between me and the rocks, while I was fishing into shore. When I hollered at him, he trolled out around me, so close he almost bumped me with the boat and kept yammering about what a %$#&% I was and that I didn't need to make such a big issue of it. He was the one making all the noise. Typical Utah sportsman. Never could figure out that when I am in a tube, and the only person in view, why boats have to crowd me or run over my line and then get mad because I take exception to it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Water was muddy and cold in the channel still...48 degrees. Main lake was just under 60 early and almost 62 when we hit the ramp about noon. [/#0000ff][/size][/black][/font]

[font "Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"][black][size 1][#0000ff]Man, those wipers hit like a freight train and fight like a pit bull. Lots of fun anyway you can catch them, but on light tackle, from a tube, THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKIN' ABOUT.[/#0000ff]
