[#0000FF]I actually accept part of the blame for the onslaught on "Rocky's Reef" the past couple of years. I have fished Willard since the 1970s...through several cycles of high water and low water. So when the water was not deep enough to suck all the crappies into the harbors I knew to look for them on a few spots outside...like those humps and bumps. Then I hadda go blab about it and everybody else "discovered" it.
The cool thing is that even when there are mobs on the main gathering spots there are still plenty of "humpettes" that hold a few fish. It takes some looking and changing tactics but you can still gather a few.
The "tale of the day" was one guy who motored right up behind my tube...while I was slowly kicking along working my jigs. He dropped anchor well within my casting range. Then, when I quit kicking to bring in a fish the breeze blew me a few feet back toward him and he yelled at me for crowding him.
Hey Gary, when are you planning to hit Starvy? It is getting about time for me. Would be good to see ya again...especially with some fish for both of us.
