Oddly enough when Elnut and I went they were up on a flat in about 5-6 feet of water where there has been no water until we got some rain. Normally in the shallows they are really easy to catch because they can’t really go anywhere, but have not seen them that shallow yet. Normally when considered shallow they are in the back of a cove that drops down to 15 feet or more really quick. We did not try throwing spoons because of all the grass in the water was grown up. Even the swim bait with hook on top was sticking the grass so I would imagine the treble hook would have stuck darn near every cast.
Just a strange day for stripers in my opinion, but that is how it goes sometimes I guess. I am no professional by any means, just a guy trying to catch stripers for fun and love catching them on the good days they bite.
