Strippers must be up shallow, because I heard several large fish break the surface. Water temp was 59 degrees and clear as normal.
BTW: if you go on the weekend, Jamestown has a lot less parking because they're using that upper-level lot as a staging area for construction material. Give us a report back if you don't mind.
Thanks for the update. Sounds like you didn't pretty well; well done.


The bluff walls/chunk rock banks usually produce pretty well for me on smallies using medium sized crankbaits. Mind saying what you were catching them on? I'm going to try some tubes next time down on Friday.
