Hit the lake with Rick and Nick. I fully expected the bite to be late in the day but we started around noon just in case. Overall fishing was very slow until 5:00. We looked everywhere but it was like the lake was empty! After 5 hours we had nothing to show for our effort but my three bites and three fish to the boat including this 15 lb’er:

At 5:00 PM it apparently became dinner time for the Stripes. While trolling we marked a few fish here and there but after stopping and trying to jig them, we quickly learned these fish were hungry! From 5:00 to 7:00 we boated 10 fish ranging in size from 8 lbs all the way up to Nicks 23 lb Monster!
