A striper smorgasbord
My good old fishing buddies Larry, Danny and Jim and I hit the lake in two boats today...Jim in mine, Larry in Danny's...we started at C-point chasing boils...Jim caught a few and I caught one and farmed about 5...I'd hook 'em, fight 'em, and then and lose them halfway to the boat...it was getting ridiculous, and there wasn't anything wrong with the hooks on the lure...just one of those days...when the surface action died, we put out the u-rigs and got a few more...then that died, so off we went...found more around Hawks Nest that wanted to eat the u-rigs, then off to the upper fish arm where they also were willing to attach the u-rigs...about the time that action slowed down, we started seeing boils out in the channel...so Jim and I started chasing them, and managed to catch a few more, including Jim's first spook striper...he was stoked! Not many fishing cherries left on that guy, but he popped that one today! Meanwhile, Larry and Danny were trolling plugs on a downrigger and getting some, but not a lot of action...we eventually went up the ski arm and anchored up for some sardine baitnwait in the buoyline area...not wide open, but a decent pick on schoolies there as well...eventually the wind blew us off the anchor a couple of times, so we took that as a sign to call it...off to the cleaning table...
We had 27 fish, not counting the dinks and largemouth we released on purpose, and the farmed ones...
