BW report 6/19

[lund1]

Threw the net last night at a deep water light and caught about 30 huge gizzard.... They couldn't wait to get in the boat. I guess the word is out there's some guy making movies starring mongoes .
Also caught a pile of small ales. Fished mid river BW from 6am - 10. Kept trolling over fish without a hit. Of course I couldn't resist using the big huge bait ....those twitching rod tips are too much fun. When I finally stopped dragging 2lb shad around and switched to the sad little alewives I csught 3 fish in 1 hour. Missed one that slammed a planer while it was clicking out ( unattended). Good lesson there.
All fish were caught on 3/8 flatline ....
Water still at 84. Air temp at 130.

Good report. I think the time of stripers having to work chasing big bait is about over until late Sept.

Nice job Lund. Thought I saw you on the Roanoke side though. BW is without fish.
