Got out with Rick Thursday the 22nd of July and we did well. We scored fish by trolling and jigging. All the action came mid morning and mid afternoon. The total to the boat on the day was "lucky 13" with 8 fish trolled and 5 jigged. I feel we did exceptionally well since we really weren't on a bunch of fish at any one time. However, where we fished we seemingly fished well based on our results. Additionally, the fish were big. Most were 9-12 lbs and I jigged up my big fish of the year thus far – a Monster 23 lb'er!
Jonathan and I hit the lake this afternoon for a quick trip. I figured we'd be able to catch a few fish between 2-5 PM and I was right. The prime was at 3:00 and though it was a Friday afternoon, I thought we'd manage the boat traffic Ok and it turned out to be a good bet.
Well, once again Jonathan has outdone himself. We were on the fish good and low and behold, he hooked and landed a giant Striper. I still can't believe it's over 30 lbs but the photo's and video I took are proof positive. What a day!!
Got out with the Boy today and we did good. We landed a bunch of fish including an 18 lb'er which was jigged back in Flat. What a fight on light tackle. Jonathan and I had our hands full as we had two fish on and basically were getting bit non-stop for a solid hour. We were able to catch them trolling too as we headed back to the dock. All in all it was a great day with the best of the season still to come.
