Well said Tube dude. 
And as you know I am no stranger to the skunk smell at Willard, but I have an arsenal now of lets go try this and see if it works. LOL.
Last outing nothing really worked very well and the only pattern that was consistent was trolling the rocks. Picked up tons of nice cats and 4 of our walleye doing that. The wipers were far and few between throughout the day and we picked up the two biggest right before dark.
We are going to try to drift fish some mussels tomorrow in an area I think the wipers are holding in. While those are soaking we will cast some crankbaits using different retrieves to see if we can get anything that way.
I like the thrill of the chase and trying to figure out what to do to catch fish. I have caught the biggest wiper out of Willard casting crank baits to the rocks and using a reel and pause retrieve to try to bring it down the rocks in steps without getting hooked in the rocks. I haven't even done that this year so I might as well give it a go first thing in the morning.
To each there own. I will report back Sunday morning if not tomorrow evening.
