Got off work at 12:30 in Salem and got home at 2:30. Jumped outta work truck into fish truck and headed back up 40 to the lake. Put in the lower lake at 3am ish. Went ahead and filled the tank with alewives. Have to agree with Mward that they dont make alewives the same in the lower lake..... ;D
The ales are up on the banks doing their thing but not in full force yet, stripers are there also blowing up here and there. I threw thunder sticks and Long A's and managed 4 before daylight. Switched to planer boards and live bait at light and picked up 5 more in that magic hour of first light then it all shut off for me, couldn't get anymore bites. I tried until 10 then headed to the truck.
9 fish total...all small 5 and 6lbrs
Water temp was 61
Ive been awake for 36hrs with no sleep..time for a nap and get up in the morning and do it again..... ;D
