Follow up report:

Went out from Jamestown Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday nights. Tried Greasy, Cliffy, and first 2 turns in Wolfe, as well as main lake bluff walls right in the mouth of Jamestown harbor and right close to there. Shad up at midnight, Stripers and Walleye up about an hour after that. Amount of shad up at all locations was less then I expected. Amount of surface popping going on was less than expected, most was in the mouth of Jamestown, on the left bank and point as you leave the harbor area. Lots of shad came to a light under the pontoon bow, but not over shallow ater, had to be out over 60 foot or better to get a big cloud up. Easy to catch when you cut the light, then wait 3-5 seconds and pitch cast net. Most small threadfin. Caught 2 good sized walleye on redfins Tuesday night. Monday night saw 6-7 blow ups on redfins but the short sighted attakers always missed. Wednesday night right after the rain at dusk, had one blow up at the point of Jamestown with no hookup, then very few surface pops and no more blow ups till we quit at 2 AM. Shiners drew not one hit under bobbers at the bank, freelined, planer boarded to the walls, or downpoled. Was a relaxing trip with a couple highlights, fun catching bait, neat seeing the masive shad clouds under the light, and great sharing time alone with the wife. Just not the hot Striper top water action I was looking for, seemed slower than some of my better nights last year. probably weather front change related.
