June 16, Indian Creek

In the water by 0515 this morning.  Cloudy with a bit of a breeze.

Started out looking for stripers, not much top water activity, but did manage to catch a couple of 5 lbers.  Both of them just went ballistic after being hooked, it was fun.

Caught a couple of smallmouth on top and a few on a c-rig before I left about 10 AM.  Campground was full, once the warm sunny weather starts, the rec boats will be out in force.

WT 79

Look how dark this smallie was:

We probably crossed paths on the water today

Probably did, I think I recognize the background where you took your pic.  I have a black and silver Phoenix.

Hey Jeff that is a cool looking smallie. Congrats on the striper bite!

Due to the down turn in numbers MD canceled the early run season for the big stripers. The striper season opened a few weeks ago here. I haven't tried for them at all. We mostly catch schoollies from shore. The big cow stripers are up in Mass or Maine right now.
