Steve the picture of your fish is on your facebook page. Just search facebook for your name and you will see the picture as your profile picture. There are several Steve XXXXXX names in the list when I googled your name. But it's easy to figure out which one is you as the picture shows your 20 lb striper. Not many guys have a picture of a 20 lb striper in the facebook profile picture. Nice fish.
I have a friend that's had a camp at the WildRidge RV Resort up at Newton Stewart and he's fished Patoka since it was first filled up. He would drive around the camp in a Golf Cart with his Dog Bandit. A little black and white Shitshoe. SP? My friend's name is Larry. I bet you have seen him around the lake in his Crestliner Boat out there fishing. He has a Mercy 150 HP motor on the back of his boat.
I talked to Larry on the phone today while he was out fishing on Patoka Lake. He caught some nice largemouth bass in the warm waters. They were up in the stumps. He also caught some nice crappie too. But there are so many little 8" crappie in the lake that you have to wade though them to get a big one worth keeping. He didn't clean any crappie so he could not see any eggs. I asked him to keep a few next time and check on the eggs to check for the spawn time. He did say that the water temp where he fished was in the lower 60's and it was at the surface. It was colder a few feet below the surface. He has a meter that he can lower down into the water and measure the temperature and various depths.
