I was out at Hole 33 yesterday in the kayak. I caught zip. Spoke to some boaters who said the only thing the stripers were biting was shad livelined at the bottom. Even then, the bite was slow. I saw alot of arches on the fishfinder so I know they were there, only not biting much.
We were in about 40 ft of water and all I had were anchovies. Also tried vertical jigging and deep cranks...nada.
Shore anglers were not catching anything either from what I could see. I didn't ask what they were using for bait. Most likely anchovies or worms.
I haven't been out to Mead for several weeks and can't believe how much the water level has risen. I launched at Government Wash and the steep enbankment wher I park was almost gone. Incredible. Wonder how much more the water will come up?
Good luck
