I was on Willard yesterday also. Launched from South marina at 750 a.m. Water and air temps were as Curt reported. Motored out into my favorite area off of the feed lot. Had pretty stiff breeze for first hour or so out of the North-East. Then shifted around a bit and calmed down. Allowed me to drift from north-east ish to south west ish at about .35 to .50 mph. Would start out in area over 18-19 fow and drift back to about 12 fow, then motor back out.
Had lots of tugs, and several hard drag screaming hit and drops. Boated 5 Cats all with good solid lip hooks. Released all. Last Cat on last shrimp was biggest of the day. Had to lay it down on deck to take photo, wouldn't stay still long enough to photo hanging from lip gripper.
Departed WB about 1200.
