[size 2][font "comic sans ms"]Hit the lake around 6:30. Launched the float tube by 6:50. I didn't mark a thing in the shallows. Finally started marking fish between 15'-20' down. Alot of fish hanging around the edge of the brushline, single bushes, and rock piles. Didn't do much catching but I managed a few stripers. The trigger color appeared to light blue. They were hitting an Excaliber crankbait (light blue top with a yellow belly) and a chrome and blue rattle trap. I also tried an Excaliber crawdad with the yellow belly, nothing. They weren't hitting any shad like. Shallow or deep, if it was shad color they didn't want it. Also nothing happening on the topwater. Due to the limited real estate on my tube I cound'nt take too much gear out with me or I'd probably have a better report. But then again that's what the next trip is for. Next trip out things to bring list: marker bouys, sunscreen, and an anchor.
Take care,
