The right place, the right time, and a little perseverence.

Went out yesterday, and after three hours of getting blown around in the kayak (too windy to anchor) and catching nothing, I decided to try the riprap. A few people there already, but none of them catching anything either. They soon left. A while later a front rolled in and the sky got even cloudier and windier than it was already. But then all of a sudden, this began to happen:

Then this happened:

Then a bunch of this:

And even one of these:

When I saw fish eating mayflies I origionally thought, ooh crappie, but I never did see one of them. Go figure. What a day once it finally got started. But then the front passed, the sun came out, the mayflies shut down, and it all stopped as suddenly as it started.

Great fishing report and glad you were there when it all happened!! Some days you have to be at the right place at the right time to enjoy it.

Tim
Was that a Hilsdale wiper, or were you on the Clinton dam?

[DaveP63]

Ooooooh...Wipers...Maybe someday! I love Wipers!!!

[Bluegill222]

Larry-- none of the above. They weren't wipers at all, just big hard fighting white bass. That ought to answer your other question as well
