So decided to run some of my new newly acquired gear, from Fishermens Hardware in LB AND at Last Chance Bait & Tackle.
Got to the lake in the early am-was speaking to Ray, Jesse, Sean, Josh..& few of the regs...then got to setup the boat/gear and headed off to some spots that were doing good earlier in the week for me. I talked/saw some of the local shorefishermen, and noticed them throwing their swimbaits in anticipation of the fatties following the trout schools...After a bit i headed out...Its been awhile since ive posted up a report, since i've been getting lmbs moreso than the Stripers, but i knew given time and effort..things would pan out-
I did some new runs as i headed over to one of the spots...not long after with the new gear, my rod gets slammed! I knew instantly it was one of "those" jailbirds...fought for a bit and brought er up...ended up being my 1st striper on my new boat!! Saw some bigger marks but couldnt get them to stick.
I continued onward and found some of the schools that i was looking for...saw some all marks mixed with the usuals, so i knew it was on...just had to present the goods right.
I ended up fishing for a few hours only-sore elbow, and landed a total of 5 striper schoolies between 4-7lbs on my Rapala digi scale. Was a good feeling to get them landed on my new rig! livewell works grrrRReeeat! hahaha
