12 of us headed down to Powell wennesday morning for the annual guys fishing trip. Weather was great. Fishing was very good. The food and friends were excellent. We fished stripers 2 day and looked for non stripers 2 days. The non striper catching was very very slow. The striper fishing was unreal if you found a pile of fish. That bit would last for 30-40 minutes of non stop and then die right off. Here are the 2016 totals.
Nice report and pic’s! If you don’t mind, what general area did you fish? Around Bullfrog, or southern/northern sections?
also, you didn’t list any smallmouth. They are usually in greater numbers than Lgmouth and crappies.
We have gone on a similar guys fishing trip every Spring for the last 20 plus years. We use a houseboat and have a great time, like you guys. Your pictures of the calm Lake make me look forward to this years trip. Tight lines!
-0- Smallmouth were caught. not for a lack of trying.
Tried fishing, north all the way to forgotten for non stripers. On the first day of striper target my boat shagged 98 fish caught in, Redd’s, Tickboo, Hansen. On the second striper target day we never left the sight of Dome Rock in Bull Frog. Jigging spoons of all sorts was very weak this year. But if you dropped a jig and a chovy down once you found a blown up fish finder it was silly fishing. My boat found 4 crazy schools and 3-4 mini schools in 2 days of targeting stripers.
Yeah dude, I’m definitely headed down Presidents Day weekend! Did you do much trolling or mainly spotting and jigging? I think we’re only going to target the stripers! And I guess we may soak some catfish bait at night. Any size to the kittys?
