Couldn't stand it so raced to the lake after work. Went and caught 65 shad real quick and met my buddy Brock back at the dock about 6:30pm. We offloaded 50 or 51 (I can't count good) and then went out to fish for the last 45min or so of daylight. Fished almost an entire creek in from the mouth with no luck and I told my buddy that there's fish in this creek so we're going til we hit bottom. Sure enough, we got back in the very back in 6ft and had to sit there and watch stripers come up and nail our baits 10ft from the boat. The water was so clear we could see everything - it was like a yam video. Pretty awesome sight. We ended up boating a 13 and 15lber but Mward said I can't post the pictures. Our fish actually came on the smaller 8" shad we had out with no stingers - wouldn't do anything but swat at the bigger shad. Water temp was 59 main channel and it was 65 in the creek. Oh happy days!

Yeah I notice the level was down, sure makes it a little easier to catch'em when it's down.
