I believe Zuki-Blue's (Gene's) last trip was on a weekday, maybe Wednesday? That was probably the time frame that the fish were hitting on that day. Being Willard Bay, that can change from day to day. Since your trip was on a Saturday, with all the pleasure boats that can be on the water on the weekends, you were quite fortunate to do as well as you did. Gene is a PRO at finding fish, like several others on this forum. He usually targets Walleye more than anything. Sometimes the time of day isn't as critical as the location of where the fish are NOW, or at the time you are on the water.
The high water level in WB this year has provided a lot more places for the fish to "hide" [:/] so use the earlier time on the water to find the fish, then if there is a special "bite" time, you have a better chance of being where they are when they do start to bite.
I think I would have had a better day Sunday after the wife boated a Cat, but the wind came up quite constant, blowing some small white caps. That's not good in my little boat, so we got off the water about 12 noon.
Good luck on your next trip to Willard.
