Stripers on the Troll Mon 10OCT11

[GdHkSet1]

Tried repeating what we did the previous weekend. Took my long time fishing bud out for some striper
searching. We expected a tuff day on the water, and it was the first two hours working the main lake
points running deeper than the previous weekend on the DR. Water temp started out at 69f in the am,
with 74f in the afternoon. We finally ran into some fish after a few passes off the SE point. The fish are
always moving, but after the 3rd pass trolling rig #1 off the port side popped up and resulted in a nice
29"inch fishy:

We saw some of the white fly rippers, but did not chat to see if they were picking off any fish.
We motored around the SW area and picked off a couple more 4 lbrs( 1 @ 100ft!) and called it the
day around 3pm. Our last two fish was around right when the wind started pick up, but we had to get
back early. I beleive the late afternoon troll bite is just as good as the a.m

great report! Did their depths change much during the day?

To Vince- Thanks for the report, looked like it was another nice day on the water. That's the way to mix it up finding those elusive stripers. Good job of nailing them at 100'. You're right, its been a little tough lately with the algae bloom going on, changes in temperature and moon phases. Glad you at least found a few fish.

Jag, up and down the graph from 40' to 140' , but the points seemed to be the place to get your
presentation down to.

dc,
We went through some thick soup in some places, the line cuts right through it, no fouling of the lures though. No surface action either.
