This morning we decided to play in the rain, it paid off we boated many Stripers. We found schools of fish between 30-50 feet down in 100-120 feet of water. All the fish we caught today were suspended very tightly around tree lines. Some schools of fish were extra finicky towards down-lines, change your bait frequently to ensure success. Power reeling still continues to produce when the fish appear to be stagnant. Our depth finder came alive a couple of times power reeling on the edges of tree lines. Hold on to your rod tightly because we almost lost a rod today to a power reeled Striper. Fish were larger than average today and the bigger fish are biting. The water temperature has come down a few degrees, look for spotted bass to be crushing bait on the surface. We still have some open dates in September, ask about our fall special.

Fishing is getting better. There is an explosive top-water bite for smaller hybrids and white bass, look for surface activity and hit the surfacing fish in the head with a spook, jerk bait, or jig. Down lining live bait 20 feet below the boat has been hit or miss but has produced bigger fish.  Spotted bass fishing has been great around secondary points and brush piles. See you on the water.
