Started off bottom bouncing with worm harness and had the first fish in the boat at 7:30am. The catching was slow but we managed three eyes, one 12" perch and a nice bluegill, all on firetiger worm harnesses. Toward the end of the morning we decided to start trolling cranks and picked up one more eye. Saw Tubedude there as well a 2 knots, good seeing you two.
I was there on Tuesday also! I only caught one Wiper and it wasn't very big. Definitely a slow bite. I was in a red Tracker. I think I got there about 6:20 or so and left at noon. I was mostly testing out some stuff on the boat, but figured I'd take the poles. With the low front moving in I didn't expect much and my expectations were met.
I saw ONE fish caught by another boat and it was also a small wiper.
I've never used worm harnesses at Willard, maybe I should start. The cranks sure weren't doing it.
Glad you got out too bad the catching wasn't better for you. What side of the lake were you fishing?
