Another Goal Reached 4-11-14

Well I finally got off before midnight last night so I was able to go home and get some quality sleep and therefore be up nice and early to hit the duct. It was about 5:50am when I got there (planned on being earlier but couldn't drag out of bed at 4 like I planned) and only one of the gates was just trickling. I started out casting a reddish brown tube, and landed a16 incher on the second cast. (No pic, sry.) They stopped hitting the tube so I did some exploring for a minute.




Whole lot of moss on the other side, I dared not cast a jerk or a TW into it... at first anyway lol. Any who, yielded nada. Onward.





I walked way down and saw a bunch of small stripers feeding on the top, not blowing up, but just barely scratching the surface. I tried to get a video but the glare off the water was too bad.





Saw this poor guy. Wonder what his story was.



So then I went back up and stopped messing around and worked that gate. Its worth mention that I hit dicks sporting goods for line last night, and walked away with more than line, naturally. Gary yamamoto makes TW lures now and I had to give it a shot, 3rd cast And I LANDED MY FIRST EVER TW STRIPER! Hence the goal ;-)
Little bit of time went by and I tied on a new Sammy that I just bought also, and right as I noticed a visitor coming over the hill asking me if I had caught anything yet, i hooked my second TW striper, perfect timing I got a witness lol. Turns out the visitor is on FNN, he wished to remain anonymous so I won't say any names hah. I tied on the 128 for 20 mins or so then back to work. No legals but hey, was a great day.

Haha what happened to being sneaky lol. It was nice to meet you too CB. You must have brought good juju with you when you came over that hill, I hooked that fish at that exact moment hah. Thx for the advice too, I had a couple chasers after you left but no committers.
