Took the family out to Willard Last night. Started fishing at about 8:00. The terns are starting to dive. We even came up on a few small boils. We trolled white or chartreuse grubs. When someone would hook a wiper trolling, the others would bring their line in and then we would cast for a while. This is when it got fun. We were into a small boil when I hooked into a 21 inch 4 lb wiper. At the same time my 7 year old boy hooked into a 3 pounder and my brother hooked another 3 pounder, a triple!!!! The boat was a scene of madness there for a few minutes.
In all we caught 14 wipers in less than an hour. We were out in the middle of the lake. The terns seemed to be diving all over the lake but they were pretty scattered. There wasn't dozens of terns diving in the same area, it was scattered all around the lake. The boils were small but we caught a few fish by casting, (they seem to fight a lot better when you catch them on the cast versus trolling.)
The water is very low. Be careful.

Sounds like a good time was had by all. I think when you hook into a wiper opposed to troilling, they do fight alot more.

Awesome report. It gives me hope that I might actually hook into a wiper before the year is over.

Here's my report for the evening of 6/30 at Willard. Took a friend's new (used) boat, got it launched, motor cranked over once or twice, battery was dead, paddled/swam/horsed the %$&*# boat back on the trailer, went home. He swears he fully charged the battery but was headed out for a new one this morning.

Not holding it against him...
But it's SOOO FUN to give someone a friendly kick in the butt when things screw up!!!
$&*%'s happened before, it'll happen again.
***BTW***
Someone please clue me in on the fish symbols under the screen names, I'm new here. Looks like I've moved up to "spermazoid" status (or is it some type of parasitic worm)!!!
