stripers

I hate a full moon, esp in May. Try to find dark banks. Lures are pretty much the same.

Agree with fishincreek. Don't like bright moon. Dark banks for sure on full moon. Have to admit, as much as I don't like the moon, my best striper was on the full moon, post cold front, bluebird skys, bright bank, winter. One of the best nights I've had on the lake. If I had checked the weather before I planned the trip, I probably would have stayed home. Stripers are masters of pychological warfare. As soon as you think you have them figured out, they change completely. Probably a big reason that the vast majority of fisherman who have chased stripers for more than a few years are more than just a tad insane

We fished Tues/Wed. nights. Wed night went early and not much happening in the creeks.
We ended up w/ 2 about 24" on Long A's. Dad caught a 24" walleye on a Gizz 4 early AM.

Wed went out late...perfect weather...no shad, no fish busting. We did catch a 23 & 3/4" stripe (seems to be an abundance of this size now) and had some other hits. Very slow.
