Default Tims Ford Striper

Decided to troll at Tims Ford yesterday afternoon. Put in at Winchester and started looking. Could not find the right schools of baitfish. I was beginning to think it would be a skunk day. Finally took a chance and ran down to Lost Creek and found what I was looking for. Started trolling with StriperMemories Urigs and caught this 15 pound Striper before I could get the second rod set.



I was experimenting yesterday and tried using Storm Swim Shad baits on the Urig. The two side baits were 4" Chartreuse, the back bait was a 5" Chartreuse. The fish hit the larger bait.

I then switched to the A-Rig setup that had worked so well on JPP and caught 11 more fish before it got dark (largest on A-Rig was 10 pounds).

When I returned to the boat ramp, I had run 35 miles. My 200 Verado L4 had used 12.5 gallons of fuel, but at least the fish were located!
