Put in a little after 4. Water temp about 58. No luck with bait until 5:30 or so..They were scattered until then for some reason...then big schools. Netted a bunch of ales again, pulled the same creek. Caught 1 striper..27" and about 8lbs on my digi scale..missed 2 more pull downs...Caught 1 largemouth about 2 lbs..All on light lines and planers. Decided to throw on a random school before packing up..low and behold I nailed 5 mongos and a baby striper...what are they doing together?

When one gets smashed, hang on. I wish I'd had a few yesterday - could only find money makers... |

No takers on the mongos...not even a sniff or tug...did catch quite a few on ales though..missed a few others..i have learned trying to run planers solo is a royal pita!

I agree with you on the planers! They catch fish, but man they can be frustrating to deal with!
