I went to Willard today the 1st, and caught 1 crappie, 1 carp, 1 small catfish and 1 crawdad. not exactly the best fishing day, and to make everything worse I went to the west dike over by the light pole, and saw 5 wiper boils..water was calm the whole time i was there and no mistake about it they were wiper boils, Saw the seagulls in mass numbers hover over the water and diveing in. Twice there was 2 differnt boils going on from what i saw with the birds. I don't have a boat so I was stuck on shore watching and listening to those birds. maybe next time i will atleast have my float-tube with me. Also helped a fellow angler catch some spotted shad minnows over at the inlet, no not gizzard shad, there are 2 kinds of shad in willard, the spotted and gizzard, just incase you all didnt know,I myself didnt find out til about a week ago. Might go back tomorrow.<br><br>swimming in ice.
