Guide trip thurs trolling thru the storm front catchingsomefish
dave called me and asked if thurs was open i said yep ,so it was on we both knew there was a front lurching in and the the moon cycle was dead opon the new moon phase ,so both of those things normally mean very good big striper fishing with the massive cloud cover.we hit the water and tossed trout swimbaits for a little while near the marina but the only problem so were the other forty boats that were there,every greencarp boy in the county was throwing big troutbaits ,so with that much commotion we put the trout rods down and started the scounting for mr stripey, today was a little different i told dave he was driving and to go where ever he wanted and i would run tackle as he drove and worked the graph.after some adjustments of lures and depths we were running thru a whole lot of bif big fish schools bunched up in attack mode cruising on bait but we coouldnt get them to go ,and we spent a lot of time on the fish arm running thru school after school they just were not turned on we got a couple paddle tails nipped off but that was about it.so it was over to the other side of the lake, i brought some bait today and the gear but dave didnt want any part of it ,hes turned into a artifical's only guy which makes me very proud of his effort to become a very good fisherman. so we kept rolling then we finally started to hit some fish for the deadwell. we saw alot of bait guys but they were not doing well and the swimbait guys were spread out all over the lake and they were not catching , so to get some fish on a horrible bite really felt good and dave more than understood that , just cause conditions seam perfect it doesnt always mean the fish feel the same way . so of the best action was on the bubble hole dave worked it like a master for some fish , we got cold and wet all day but it was a really good day especially when we snagged a bako-boy urig off a hump up the fish arm and we had our souveneir rusted up rig......lol.............thank you dave for going out and you did pretty good at driving which is harder than it looks and its hard going from one style boat to the next and be perfect on youre runs thru the trolling lanes,,,,,bob
