After watching the radar all day Friday I decided to take a chance and fish Friday night. Apparently, I'm no meteorologist. I like fishing down lake this time of year and that's where I found a few fish. Found some rain too. Once the sky opened up the bite turned off and I took my wet self home for some sleep. I only managed 2 fish in the 5-7 pound range. Thunderstick in pink and chrome Had a few things to tend to Saturday morning and afterwards I made my way to the lake. Hit the water about 230 and wow was it hot. Dragged a u-rig around all of the tubers, cigarette boats, jet skis and very few fisher people. Caught 5 fish in the 5-7 pound range. Warmest water temp was 68.5 but I found 3 stripers floating. Not sure why ?? I dodged several storms in the afternoon and bolted before the big one hit. Urigs with a mix of white and green swim baits I was sitting at Christmas tree island waiting for some clouds to pass and had a boatload of ladies come up to the island. They all hopped in the water to pee. Was funny as heck. They apologized for disturbing my peace and quiet but I told them I was leaving because the water was too warm lol.

Doesn't take a genius to figure out the dead striper problem. Let's just say they "passed" too close to Christmas tree island.

Post spawn stripers can be weak - heard before of a higher mortality after spawn
