9/6 Sunday AM
WT 82
downlines,2 0z egg sinkers , bait set at 35-40 ft
Started hitting lights at 5:00 am and slowly filled the tank with a mix of small - medium ales with a few nice ones as well
Went back and woke my son up at 6:20 . We headed up to the bridge to pick up a couple of old buddies ( they are brothers) of mine that I grew up with and had not seen in quite some time as well as the 10 year old son of one of them. He had never been striper fishing before so the plan was to put him on some fish. We started scouting from the bridge down and located a few single fish here and there but they just would not bite. It was a slow morning . We decided to make a move down to the black water side of the lake and scout along the way. We setup in the bull run area marking a few singes here and there. Finally around 11:00 we marked a nice little pod of fish and a rod went down!My buddies son grabs it and starts to fight the fish. 2 more rods go down and my son and one of my friends grab them. We landed all 3 fish. Needless to say my friends boy was super excited about his first striper, which was the biggest fish he had ever caught. We missed 2 more fish shortly after that but mission was accomplished. We packed it up and took them back to the bridge to drop them off. That was a crazy ride!
