Quillback Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Got to the launch just as it was getting light, cold and a bit breezy out. Went looking for top water striper activity and did not find much at all. Had a few blowups close by and caught a hybrid that went about 4 lbs., but after that saw just a couple of isolate blowups. Did some motoring around all the way to Clifty looking for stripers, never did find any. So, fell back to plan B and started fishing for bass, threw the c-rig for a bit, caught a few smallies on it, tried the Ned for a while, caught a couple on it, finally fell back on the 3.3 Keitech and found some fish on a cove bank that had some docks. The fish were either around a dock or off the bank in 5-10 FOW. Caught 15 bass, 3 were keeper sized smallies. Dark clouds were beginning to loom, so I left around 1 PM. WT 71, water is stained green pretty much all around the dam area. This post has been promoted to an article BilletHead, snagged in outlet 3, liphunter and 6 others 9
Blll Posted May 20, 2019 Posted May 20, 2019 Quill, I bet that was fun on top. Since they no longer are stocking hybrids, nice to find one. I've not caught one for 2 years. Great fish but they really did pound on the crawfish base. Interesting to see how the balancing attempts play out. Not finding much striper action mid lake at all.
Quillback Posted May 21, 2019 Author Posted May 21, 2019 I caught a hybrid winter before last that was about the same size and that was the last one I have caught until today. Could've been a little school of them, I had several hits on the plug, one of them knocked it about three feet in the air and when it came down that dude grabbed it.

Ham Posted May 22, 2019 Posted May 22, 2019 I like the 105’s but the stock hooks are too small. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
Quillback Posted May 22, 2019 Author Posted May 22, 2019 I thought the hooks on the 125 were a tad small, but they have not been a problem with stripers at all. They are super sharp, haven't had very many fish come off once they get hooked. Don't have any of the 105's.
Sore Thumbs Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 Looks just like an Ima Little Stik. Great baits Quillback 1
