I fished by myself Friday morning. The wife and her sisters took the kids to the VA Safari Park. I should have went with them. Sounded like they had a terrific time.
All I had in the tank to start was some small gizzards I caught very late the night before. The Largemouth bass ate them up. Not sure how many I caught but it was the best day I ever had for numbers of nice bass from 4lbs up to 6.5lbs. Did hook 2 stripers one on live bait and one on a fluke that I threw to some swirling fish. Both got off. Wrapped up the morning catching some decent bait for Saturday. Catching big bait has definitely gotten tougher for me.
Friday evening I attended the SML Striper Club meeting. Enjoying seeing the various striper fishing demonstrations put on by the members.
Left the dock at daybreak Saturday morning with the sister in laws. Wife stayed home to watch the nieces and nephews.
Fished 3 or 4 planer boards with a float or two. Baits were in the 10” to 12” range.
Ended up with 7 stripers in the boat. All cookie cutters between 28” & 32”. Girls did a great job. I just baited hooks. The only time I touched a rod was to move it outta their way.
We also caught some LMB. This one is pushing 7lbs.
