stripers

[apb]

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.
