Due to an unforseen circumstance, got a late start and hit the water about 10:00.

Was already quite windy.

Trolled over to my spot that I caught a few last time.

Caught an 18''er on a crankbait.

My new dog, Freddie.

Tried bait on the spot, but couldn't get my anchor over any fish.

After an hour, tried trolling around for nada.

Went back to my area, for no good.

Finally found a spot that had some fish and a cat.

Wind was really bad, but catching the fish made me wanna stay.

A little later, got a nice running fish, and knew it was a striper.

Quickly got another one.

While taking out the hook, I hooked up a really nice one, that ran forever and was getting close to spoolin me!

Hook popped out.

Had to leave because waves were starting to splash into the boat.

The way it was goin, I might have got a limit if I hadn't had to leave so early.

Feels great to finally get into some fish at Pyramid.

Thanks for everyone who gave me pointers along the way.

If you helped me out and want specific info, shoot me a PM.

Congrats ….
That is the warrior spirit. I was debating myself to go out on Sunday but the worry about the wind and the couch and ps3 got the better of me. I have seen your rig once (fishing with TO) and I wouldn't want to be out there with that wind but then again I am not a true warrior I guess.
