my post about boiling fish definitely brought everyone out from the woodwork. got there a little late (5:00) and was out on dominigoni. great for the lake; sucked for me.
with the amount of boat traffic on the lake, it without a doubt pushed the fish down. bass boats running wild, striper guys driving around in circles and guys trolling rooster tails around the lake didnt help the cause. conditions were right, water was right and amount of bait was right but the one variable we all forget about, boat traffic, was the killer. had it been mid week, you may have seen a different sight. they did boil throughout the day, but not out in the open like they had been. you had to be at the right place at the right time. you gotta remember, stripers are noise sensitive spooky fish. to much motor noise is a negative. jammin down the banks, i did happen to see several fish blastin bait in the coves and up against the bank. you had to be right there and be able to put a cast right on their heads.
never did throw on a boil, i was just looking for something of size as the conditions played into something special. never did get the big big one i've been hunting, but ended up with a couple decent fish.
you gotta remember, this day in age, nothing is real unless you can supply pictures or video.
fish are chewing and they're chewing well.
