Twoglasseyes and I got out early today to try our luck at the WWD. We saw a bunch of nice sized bass (16-18") but only caught a few smaller ones.
We got to the discharge around dawn and spotted some a few walleyes erratically swimming around. I was casting a J-9 rapala and got a topwater hit, but sadly it was gill. When the sun came up a little more I switched to cralwers and continued to catch a bunch of dink gills :roll: (Mike was right about the minnows). I ended up catching both of my bass on a senko like worm. As soon as the bait hit the water the gills bum rushed it but refused to bite. This drew the attention of the bass both times. Here's a pic of one of the bass I caught: the other one was only an inch or two bigger.

After about an hour and a half at the discharge we explored salt creek but didn't catch anything. Rudy caught the pike below the day before on the side opposite the discharge.

The rain and wind sucked but all in all it was a good day.
