Schoolies And Hybrid After Flow .

[iflyfish70]

Noticed they ran the water a few days last week so my brother and I went Monday afternoon to try for a few fish . Got on the water about 4:30 pm and fished untill dark . My first fish of the day was a decent 3lb striper and the rest of the day consisted of about 20-1lb schoolies, a few decent hybrid and 2 foul hooked carp .

We only fished the PSO hole from the jetty to the wave park so we did well and didn't cover much water at all .

Wanted to throw the info out there in case anyone else has cabin fever and wonders if it's worth wetting your waders .

Indeed! Nice to hear that some fish are starting to move around up there. This nice weather probably as the fish on the eat! I cant wait for spring...ready to chase some stripers again.

I'm ready for spring as well. Hopefully it'll be better than last year. I've went down there four times in January and didn't catch a striper one! Did have one swirl a topwater popper but he didn't come back for more.

fished clouser minnows blue/white, chart/white . deep slow retrieve . Was hoping to hook a few sauger because I had seen a few caught the previous weekend . Was surprised to get into the stripes .

On bait? Jigs?

jigs . chart. twirl-tails with white head . looked to be about 3 inches long . the guy was standing on the platform over the spillway gates casting into the lefthand current seam looking down-river and using a steady med-slow retrieve . when he caught a fish he just hauled it up 20 ft to the platform so i'm sure he was using 10lb or heavier mono line or possably braid .

The dude caught 4 keepers in the 30 minuets I watched him which was kinda funny because it was driving the 6 orientals fishing down river nuts . No matter how deep they waded they still couldn't cast into the hole he was fishing and by the 4th fish they were standing chest deep and shoulder to shoulder trying .

There is some bridge construction this year that has all but shut down water flows. I have been wondering the days I saw it moving if the fish were on the bite.

water has been to high to wade for the last 2 weeks or so . They opened Keystone and seem to be matching outflow to what's coming in . Keeping the pool low for the spring I guess .

Gonna try to hit it hard when the water comes back down .
