Hit Willard Sunday for a few hours didn’t launch until about 11 figured no need to be there early and hoped water would warm in afternoon. Water temp in south Marina 41 when we launched main lake 49-50 at that time. Headed north out into the great beyond trolled in 14 to 18 feet with deep running cranks at 2.5mph. Got 5 hits hooked 4 landed 3 wipers. Two better ones 6.4 and 4.6 lbs smaller third one. Water warmed to about 52 in main lake late afternoon, it was 55 in north marina poked around a bit for crappie, still a bit early. Saw one caught could not mark any. Heard of a few caught but nothing consistent yet.
