I have a friend who fishes with me a few times a month and he always seems to jinx me. He was out with me on Saturday and we got a big ol' smelly skunk. I had company comming on Sunday and I was determined to serve up some striper ceviche for apetizers. We casted and trolled all morning. All my best spots. NADA.
I went back today (tuesday) and was able to pick off 6. Same trolling rig same areas. Figures. From what I can tell they are starting to spread out. Maybe with the weed dieoff the shad are moving around more since they don't have as much cover? The bites I did get were with evil intentions. They didn't swat at the lure, no short strikes, when they hit it they swallowed the 5" swimmies all the way in. Only lost 1 fish to a broken leader at the boat.
So, water is still real high and inlet not running much. That's all folks!
