Well, Dave Offret and I decided to join the Wiper Fiest today. We pre-fished the lake yesterday and only caught 2.
Today, at the Wiper Fiest, we started out slow with only 3 wipers by 11:00. But then we found the right spot, the right lures, and the right trolling speed. In the next 2 1/2/ hours, we boated another 5-6 wipers and one catfish.
It rained pretty much all day. The Maniac guys put on a pretty decent tournament. There were lots of high-dollar boats there. Those fancy boats made my little tin-bin look pretty insignificant. But we sure enjoyed it anyway.
Over the two days, we lost lots of lures and braided line.
We didn't win but we sure had fun and learned a lot.
