Who could resist fishing on a beautiful day like today. It's Christmas Eve and the kids and wife will be asleep until 8am.
I got out with intentions of just busting the bank for a few hours to blow off some steam. Just as the sun was rising the bait started busting the surface so like a true addict I threw my cast net and filled the bait tank with water.
I fished an area of OH that I've never tried for Striper but I read something Ralph Dallas wrote in a book many years ago about winter Stripers in this area so I decided not to let these beautiful shad go to waste. Within 15 minutes of putting out my spread with boards, a balloon and 1 down line, this girl decided to eat breakfast. Second biggest fish I've ever caught and I was planning to be happy with a few bluegill on ultralight tackle today.
My bait tank is 32 inches long and 18 inches wide.
Merry Christmas to all of you!
