Bob,

You are the master. Good advice on the size of your presentation. I'll take it to heart, but I'm sure I'll still only catch largemouth. Probably just more. Im to the point now where I'm shaking those suckers off at the side of the boat.

I'd say you just need to keep searching new and better areas, I've been tearing the stripey up and I too catch LMB from time to time but the stripeys...when target correctly come in I'd say at a ratio of about 30 stripes to 1 or so LMB....if you seek and destroy for stripes only...if it's seems to be higher conentrations of LMB....move on to a new zone if you do not desire the mossbacks.

the small bait makes sense to a certain degree as many of the shad are of smaller variety but there are many larger shad as well.
I'd hate to see everyone downsize there bait religiously and possibly miss out on a larger unit that is seeking a larger meal, I run a 4" KPN Mini shad and I catch fish of all sizes, I think that size probably fits into the middle sector where its not downsized too much but it's not the huge Spook type bait..

Good luck

anyway....my 2 cents

Boils boils boils, fish fish fish, slay slay slay!!!!!

[gletemfeelsteelgary]

Boils boils boils, fish fish fish, slay slay slay!!!!!

Have the striper been boiling ?

[Ray Lopez]

i was up on the west ramp today doing lots of fishing with no catching. It was just too windy and raining and cold to really fish hard like i normally do. good job punking that skunk bob!

[karlow]

Hot dam Bob get and get um good!
If the weather sucks I will be there on Sat for the event!
Smaller is better, who knew. I ordered some toys from your friends and they should be here in time to play. I have got to do a better job, you are still catching ten fish for ever one that I get!
The good news is last time I fished circles around your friend Joe! On the troll and with bait. My bucktails out fished the storm 3 too one. It could be a color thing. The last time it was the other way around. I should tell Joe, then he will run down to Wally world and blow $60!

Bob as always, just trolling in your wake.

Good points, Gary. I guess catching largemouth ain't all that bad. One particularly good day I got 49-largemouth, 1-smallmouth, and zero Stripers. What the #$%^!!!!!!!!! I'm gonna need FarmerBob to show me the ropes before I give up and throw all my Striper gear overboard.

[Trout 1]

Dang nice stripers!!!:Big Grin:

[cutbait]

You da man Bob. Looking forward to seeing you Sat.

[hamneggs]

Boils in the rain??????:EyePop: The striper Gods have always been good to you. I'll bet those fish tacos will taste even better after a chilly day of fishing.

[CRESTLINER16]

Impressive as usual Bob. I have yet to hook up on stripers with a topwater. that's is still a long awaited dream. One of these day I'll manage. your posts are always so inspiring, thanks for the awesome report. thanks again for taking the time to share your awesome tips that other week!
