Spook is good. I catch Stripers on all the exact same lures I toss to LMB/SMB. With those Gizzard Shad getting so big it can be easy to mistaken a pile of them on the surface for a Striper boil.
I did end up up north this morning but never made it near Stewarts to check it out. Wanted to. We hit a couple other spots I really wanted to hit first and did well. Then the winds came up at noon and it was time to go and go fast. It went from darn near zero wind to holy cow in 15 minutes. I flew across that lake back to the marina before it got too bad. It really hit hard. Sucked putting all the boat stuff away (rods/net/stuff/etc) up on the ramp since the wind was so bad. Didn't help the gas milage driving home with that wind out of the south [:/]
I am also way up in the extreme NW end of town. 1 hr 30 minutes to the ramp at Echo for me.
