Rockfish vs kayakers episode 2
Got into stripers again this morning. I ended up catching around 15 or so, both on topwater and subsurface lures. Most of the fish were around 18-22" long, but a few 8 lbers showed up, along with the 15 lber in the picture below. Not as active on top as last Thursday, and the water was dirtier, but I figured out a pattern. Also caught a few big white bass, around 15" or so. After the stripers quit playing, I changed tactics and caught a few tilapia and small bluegill on a Trout Magnet. If you combine all the paddling I did on Dale Hollow yesterday, and all the fish-fighting today (best stretch was 5 fish on 5 consecutive casts), it's easy to understand why my arms are a bit sore. I'll be back at it again on Wednesday, though. #becausewefish
PS: Jeremy, sorry if this rubs salt in the wound...hopefully this bite will continue for a while !
