Trip Summary

Picture above from this morning. 12 pound striper 8 pound cat Fishing this week was tough with the winds but the big fish were aggressive early am all week. Multiple 10 pound plus stripers on top water in the first hour of each day. Slabs and sassy continued success once the sun was up. Lots of small fish on top water as well. Boat traffic on weekends makes the fishing much harder but weekdays were great! Catfish were very consistent all week with good eater cats. Didnt catch any over 20 pounds this week but lots of 5-10 pounders. 16-25 fow drifting flats near ledges. Striper fishing should continue to heat up even more as the temps start to come down… hopefully the temps come down! Until next time.

Today was the first day for me to see the large top water action with some birds working as well. I had heard of some earlier this week but saw it today. Water temp is right around 60 and the striper are coming in to their spring routine. The next few weeks should be very strong with swim baits and maybe even throwing top water lures. Blue Cats are active and being caught in shallow water. We should have another week or two of shallow bite but they will be transitioning to deeper water soon. Nows the time to book!

The fall pattern for stripers is in full swing. At daybreak and for about an hour or so after the big fish are shallow and exploding on top water lures. After that watch the sky and find the birds working. Using slabs or swim baits under the birds will trigger consistent bites. The lake turned over last week or so and the catfish were inconsistent for me but i expect that bite to pick back up. Now is the time to have your chance to land your biggest striper of the year. Many fish welll over 10 pounds caught recently

Early morning top water has been minimal but the fish can be found with a little travel. Using slabs and swim baits had been above average and producing big fish. The fish have been in 18-35 fow. Once you find the schools its been a ton of fun. Blue cats have been good on cut gizzard shad in 20-30 fow. Expecting the fishing to get even better over the next few weeks with more big fish showing up.
