Willard today with The Slayer
#5
Good to see you guys again too.  Glad you got some tugs...even if the kitties were pretty sluggish in that 40 degree water.  Still, tugs is tugs.  And I managed to avoid my one and only skunk of the year as is traditional for my first March trip to Willard.  I caught 3 cats.  Yahoo. 

I probably could have caught more cats if I had fished fligs and meat more.  But I was hoping for ABC...anything but cats.  So I spent a lot of time dragging a crawler rig and pitching plastics.  I got a few light whacks on the crawler rig but no hookups.  Maybe perch?  Not even a sniff on a range of colors and sizes of plastics.  Got my cats on a fire tiger flig.  Missed a couple of others. 

No video on this trip.  My GoPro was balky in the cold.  Several of the fish battles I tried to record either did not record at all...or only got a few seconds.  That included the whole sequence I thought I shot of you guys fighting and landing a nice kitty when you were close by.  However, I did get a shot earlier with my other camera of you guys netting one of the first cats you caught earlier.

I talked to Chris Penne (DWR) for a couple of minutes before they launched their netting boat.  He said this was their first shot at the walleyes this year.  Hope they do as well this year as they have been doing in the past.  Their netting and stocking efforts have really helped the anglers' walleye catches.
