Fishing was tough. Bait and fish everywhere halfway back in beaver and otter creeks all at the same depth you found them - 35-50 ft deep. Friday, fished 4 hrs and got blankded. Went out at 6 pm and caught one short on a bucktail at sunset and threw a jig in my shad light (bc i saw 4 stripers swimming around at about 7 pm) and a striper hit my jig. That was fun but it was 23 inches long. Sat morning, i pulled shiners and there were 4 other guides in the same area NOT catching fish. at 10 pm i switched to downrigging bucktails and missed one, then got a double hook up. One fish was 12 lbs and hit a bucktail. The other fish hit a deep diving crankbait and i did not get that one in. the rest of the day - nothing. sunday morning, same style of fishing and caught one 23 inch on a planer board at 35 ft. Nothing after that.

I think the biggest challenge was the sunlight. For me, it just turns off the fishing and i never do well when i have blue bird skies. if i had shad, i would have bottom fished. the weather was beautiful and the weekend was relaxing.
