Took a coworker out for his first striper fishing adventure. It was a wet one. Rained most all day. We started at 4am searching for bait. Threw in several creeks ended up with 7 big gizzards and 20 or so ales. Put out a spread on some main lake points 3 shad and 2 ales on freeline boards and a big fat ale on a float. The only action was on the big shad. Changed all lines to big shad and pulled them for a long time. tried some creeks as well. Lots of short strikes and blow ups just couldn't seem to get them to hold on long enough. We finally landed one at a little after 2pm. Then we caught a nice catfish. By then all our big bait was either dead or barely swimming so I retied all the rods with small hooks and got a few smaller fish on a main lake flat. He had a good time and that was my goal for the day.
All the stripers were well below the slot.
