One odd thing happened while fishing the jumps. Stripers were working next to shore. I cast next to the bank where the stripers were boiling and had a hit. I notice right away that this isn't a big fish. It's a dink spotted bass. What he was doing in all that mess kinda shocks me. I would think he would have been hiding.
The stripers that we kept had some grey mud that I assume were shad. Those threadfins go right through these stripers. I dont know if that is a good thing or not. It will mean that they need to feed more often, but it might also mean that they aren't getting enough bang for their buck so to speak. Thats why I said it would be nicer if the schools of shad were gizzards. I think gizzard shad would pack more meat on their bones. I think the stripers are working way too hard to catch those threadfins for little return. Here's another striper from the jumps.
