Well, I think I can follow a similar comment pattern as Binge.
4/23 Got to the lake around 6pm to attempt to scout and perhaps throw artificial at the points/banks. Well the wind made it impossible in which I decided to retie hooks and watch tv til dark. After dark wind still strong but ales came in good to the light around 9:30-10:00. May haev been there earlier but couldnt see with all the chop. 2 throws and DONE. Water temp was 57-58
4/24 Headed out about 6:30 am to a few "lucky" spots I found the previous few days. NADA. Fish are on the move as stated. Couldnt locate any schools, everything seemed scattered including bait. Pulled this area for about 45 min with 2 quick strikes and no fish. Lucked into a nice female drifting away from this area. Light line planer over the
main channel. Moved to a new area where 40 fish were caught . Boat was still anchored there. I wondered if he ever moved
. Pulled the coves and banks of this area and picked up 3 more fish with the biggest about 6 lbs. All fish did look to few female from best I could tell with real fat bellys. Light lines were the ticket. No looks (that I could tell ) on my downlines. Fish seem to be on the points going into main channels. Water temp from 58-61 . Wind still crazy but more manageable this time.
Oh... the sparkly boats can kiss my arse...these guys are beyond nuts screaming by me. One pull in...hit a bank...one right behind him all day . Throw the motor on right on a point im headed to. I know there are some really good ones out there as I encountered them to (ie slowing down or puttering away from the area) but most has no respect.

....... talked to a guide, and he told me 90% of the stripers in the lake are at some place called lucky island. Since I don't fish the dark side, I've never heard of it..... also said, don't get to close to the island, someone turns their biting dog loose on it sometimes....... Thought about going that way, but with the gators and now the biting dogs..... I got scured off.
