I really enjoy hearing stories about the kindness of the guides on LC. I think the general opinion on guides for most people is "stuck up until proven friendly" and that's not really fair. From my own experience the striper guides seem to be nice folks, with a few exceptions.

I fished Sunday with my dad and we got our limit about noon. Fishing was very slow in Jamestown area and we worked hard to get the ones we did. We caught them as shallow as 15 and as deep as 28 ft. Didn't mark any schools of fish, just a few here and there. I'm thinking the fish are just scattered on that end of the lake compared to the upper end.
