Topwater Striper at C-land

I hate to say it but the glory days are over, at least for now. The **** draw down, fish die off, fishing pressure and now parasites it's no wonder it's so difficult to catch a keeper and trophies are just about non existent. But on the bright side it's still better than work. Still fun if you hit the right spot at the right time. Mean Morone may have the right idea about TN. So good luck and hopefully you'll prove me wrong.

Went down to Cumberland and fished Beaver Creek. Fish and shad plentiful right around the corner from the marina. Plenty of boats pulling boards. We caught more casting than on the boards. Shad and fish boiling at am and pm in the coves. Caught a bunch of small males on zara spooks, x-rap and jerkbaits. Majority of fish were caught throwing out in open water, not into the bank. I only fished a few hours here and there because it was a family trip, not really a fishing trip. Sat night was pretty good. as the storm was blowing thru, the action was pretty good. Caught 4 stripes and a couple small mouth right in the middle of that wind that came thru, once again throwing the jerkbaits into open water.
