Thanks for the update. Sounds like the average size in the schools has improved. Just might have to fire up the big motor and see if I can catch a few. Thanks again for the report.

Thanks for the update. Just 2 more days and I will get to give it a try. I wish I was there today. The weather conditions seemed ideal. If anyone has any other updates i will be checking until Thursday morning. I will let everyone have my report once I return Sunday good or bad. Thanks again.

I wanted to report how we did over the weekend. Thursday and Friday we did have some success with the jumps on the flats across from the mouth of wolf and greasy creeks. We were using red fins and poppers. The conditions were right with overcast skies and spotty rain. That was a lot of fun. Then the wind and sun moved in. We did not see anymore jumps Saturday or Sunday. We did have some success casting poppers on the banks in the same flats area Saturday and Sunday. I am considering heading back down this weekend so if anyone has any new reports it would be much appreciated. Thanks to everyone who responded before.

Stripers. There was a lot of single jump activity going on which we felt like had some smallmouth in it.

Was is a single pop or more like a surface break? I ask because there is a difference in how the fish are feeding. If it's a pop, well, you know. If it's a break, then they are probably feeding sub surface and rolling once they get to the top. You want to fish the two differently.

[bsg2121]

Definitely a pop. Very exciting. We caught a few fish but you would have thought we would have caught more with all the activity. There we definitely stripes in there but from time to time you would see brownish or orangish color like small mouth or carp. My group is still down there. I had to go to work. I know they got their limit in the same areas Tuesday in the jumps in about 2 hours. The last 2days have been cold and windy. They did not even go out today. BG

It was like that two years ago when we were down. Jumps were close to the banks and stripes, Kys and smallmouth were mixed in them. Quite cool not knowing what you are going to catch..
