21-27 striper reports

[Dan the fisherman]

Monday I got 3 fish, Wednesday 4, and today got 5... I've been coving tons of water every trip.   There is some schools here and there.  But are very hard to stay on top of cuz they're moving so much.  All fish this week were small. 10-12 pound range. Still fun though. Today  I caught fish from edens bluff to islands.   seriously covered that much water today and got fish at both ends. I think of it as hop scotch.  I just hop scotch around the lake not fishing an area longer than an hour if I'm not getting bit.  I didn't even look at the water temp so I'm sorry for that.  I wanna say 60-61  good luck out there fellas. Stay safe. Here's a pic of my son holding one of the 4 he caught Wednesday

It was his first striper trip this year and I had to get him out while he was out of school.  Really glad we hooked up!

I sure was ? Lol.... but I was using shad this time, but I've been getting them on brooders when I'm unable to find shad.  I've had some early morning trips where I couldn't see shad cuz it was still to dark (530am) and I'd use brooders to good effect.  Both have done well this year.

I'm having problems netting shad- everything I find is in 30 fow- are you finding them shallow somewhere?
