Hi all, I just got back from Willard. Here it is; the rookie report...
First off, not being familiar with Willard and the ramp practices I must ask; why did it take me an hour and a half to get my boat on the water today? We arrived at about 5:30 or 6 PM and might I tell you, what a zoo. Jordanelle has never been this crowded. I hope this was a fluke because the people and the lines made it very dificult to stay.[mad]
Alright... So my friend and I thought about hitting Willard today to go after some wipers since so far this year I have had fun and caught at least something at Willard. That was not the case today. I wil say it was because we were complete rooksters and probably had more hits than we thought. Anyway, tonight was terrible for us but we did see a bunch of people reeling in fish. We tried everything and got nothing. At least we did not loose anything and we were out on the water not stuck in the house.
We are planning on going up again on Tuesday to try our luck. Any suggestions? I have a boat and will be taking it, I can troll at speeds from 1mph up. What should we try and where should we try it? We noticed tonight on the fish finder that there were more fish out in open water than near the dike. Also, who wants to meet us there? We could really use a wiper/walleye education![crazy]
At least it was still fun!
