[cool]Went out to boulder harbor thursday to try for stripers and to net some shad. The shad were nowhere to be found and neither were the stripers. I was using all artificial lures. Went to 33 hole and saw all kinds of bird activity and alot of wind. I took the tube down and kicked against the wind to government wash and finally hooked up with two stripers; one 1.5lb and a 2lber. on a small bucktail jig. The birds were diving on shad being pushed by the stripers even in 15 to 20mph winds! Went out to Hemenway the next morning for the trout plant hoping to get a larger striper. Got6 no love there. Saw one caught by a boater that was 4 pounds. Left there and went back to 33 hole to find glass conditions and a couple boils. Paddled back to gov't wash and got three stripers before 3 bozos in a boat raced up and silenced the bite. Saw a guy in a bass boat jigging up stripers in the middle of the wash. I decided to try my luck at it and got three more on a3/4oz jigging spoon. finnally called it a day at 4pm. A good couple days on the water.
