Each time we cast surface lures into the cove stripers would hit. The wind carried us back out and we had to reposition the boat to return to casting range. Stripers hit for an hour between 6 and 7 a.m. As soon as the stripers quit smallmouth moved in to get any leftover shad. We caught smallmouth to two pounds after the boil. Stripers are boiling early each day in the mid to upper lake. Bass fishing is steady everywhere. Bigger bass are feeding with stripers on top. The lower lake is not as good but point. Moving in closer, the point dropped off into a diff face. The first cast directly to the point was ignored. The second cast to the left side produced a giant swirl and then a striper that snagged the lute on the third pass. The boat drifted onto the shallow point, grounded and held. A cast was made to the deep water right off the stem without moving the boat Each cast would get hit by a striper as the surface lure crossed deep water then neared the ledge. The hooked fish would be accompanied by the entire striper school as they tried to take the lure from his mouth. Each cast was the same, 20 times in a row. The stripers would hit right at the diff edge then all would follow the hooked fish to the boat. What a sight! When their buddy disappeared into the boat they dropped back over the edge into deep water waiting for another shad to swim by. The lure seemed to be the only "shad" in the vicinity. w ,'T'- - ; H':?. t n . Watch for birds in striper country. They eat shad fleeing from stripers and will hang around after the boil is done hopingfor one more fish. At Bullfrog the next morning was windy, with rain.

Then we slowly improving. : vj-K- V: ' Jt th gansers began half flying, half scooting along the surface heading for the same rock the heron had perched on. The boat was then stopped and remained idle as a cast was made to the herons rock. A striper immediately took the Jumpin' Minnow. TVra more casts and two more fish. As soon as the surface lure quit working, a spoon to the bottom was dropped and picked up six more stripers all Eat, healthy two to three poundeis.
