Finally tried a new spot besides hole 33. Went to stewarts point (beautiful drive, but its a long ways away…) and found the fishing to be very similar to hole 33. Caught a couple of dink stripers and that was it. Some other folks around us were catching quite a few dinks. Also saw a guy pull in a few cats around 14-15".
Was able to try out my new rig for the first time. Bought an ascend A10 kayak from BPS, for $299. Mounted it with a humminbird fish finder, an RC car rechargeable battery to power it, and off we went! What a blast, trolling in a kayak is more enjoyable than I thought. My fish fish finder worked great and the RC battery lasted the entire day. There were long stretches of nothing, and then stretches of hundreds of fish. What a cool feeling knowing that there are 10 HUGE fish right below you. What’s not cool is not being able to catch them, lol.
I tried everything in my tackle arsenal with very minimal results. And then this striper hits on the dumbest bass lure I have?
I will be fishing Mead next saturday if anyone is interested in going with. Preferably if you have a kayak, pontoon, or float tube. I’ll probably hit hole 33 or Hemmingway.
its so much nicer when your off the shoreline. I’m not far behind you once the water warms a bit more I’ll be tubin. I remember you talking about getting a tube you made the right choice in getting a kayak I’ve been thinking about buying that same model.
