Hit willard last night with MGB and my dad. we got there about 6:00
and fished until about 9:00 only caght 1 wiper witch my dad caught. we tried alot of different lures and speeds. Thanks again Mike my dad and had a great time.
We marked alot of fish but they wouldn’t hit. Its been afew weeks since I have been out there, I need to spend some time at willard to locate the active schools. Thats the first time I have been skunked since April.
The worse part about yesterday was when I got home I backed my boat into a car and bent my prop, hope I can get it fixed before next weekend.
Sorry to here about the prop . I always worry about dinging it on the water but never think about it when it is out of the water . I nailed 2 wipers , 2 walleye , and 2 kittys this morning and lost several more at the boat . Wipers were pulling hard this morning . I would of been better off just trolling today but I was bound and determine to jig fish most of it . Lots of fish on the finder .
What part of the lake did you find the walleye in? Were you fishing right on the bottom or suspending your lure? Were you using any bait jiging?
I saw a lot of blips on the finder the other night but couldn’t get anything to take on the troll.
The wife and I got on Willard at 09:00 and got off at 19:00. No luck trolling except for one cat. Eventually went to the south side rocks east of the feedlot. Used worms 1.5 feet below a bobber about three to six feet from the edge. LOTS of cats - not real big but sure beats just swatting bugs. The wife got a nice 14 inch fat smallie. Had similar success on Friday starting about 3 in the afternoon. Even got a wiper the same way.
Like you name IMHooked. I just has a classy sound. Welcome to the board. thanks for the report.
it’s good to hear that someone in the boat caught one as there are enough dead skunks on the road stinking things up [:)] trfishin
I was trolling for wipers when I have hooked walleye and don’t believe I was running very deep . I been having luck with Rattlin’ Rapalas in the Holographic Blue Shad . I been fishing out in the middle of the water for my fish .

The cats I have caught have been on jigs with a piece of worm on it .
