reel,
I was out at Hole 33 a couple weeks ago, and could see the shad breaking the surface with stripers chasing them, but they were mostly out of casting range. The times the schools got into casting range, I couldn't coax a bite out of the stripers underneath them. I tried topwaters, jerkbaits, cranks, spoons, all in a shad/silver pattern, and nothing...am I missing something?
And I will look into the local clubs...I've only fished one tourney in my life, but it was a blast...be good to get back out there and meet some folks in the process.
