5-3-11

Today I guided Bob and Cora Bill for stripers. We hit the water at 5:30 and made our way down stream to the red sea. We started worming where I had caught the fish yesterday but they were not there so we made our way further down. We hit a couple more spots with no luck so we kept on moving. As we were floating our way down to the next spot I saw the fish boiling in the shallow water so we slipped in on them quietly and started ripping lips. Bob was the first to hook up and Cora and I were closely behind. We caught 7 fish the first pass of which 3 were hens in the 8-12 pound range that we quickly released, so we could get back to fishing. We went back up and made another pass and hooked a couple of more fish before some idiot decided to drive his boat between us and the bank right over the top of the fish. The moron hit bottom once and then gunned it blowing a nice stream of sand out of his jet. Needless to say he killed the bite so we went on the hunt again. We caught a few more fish as we worked our way down. When we got around the Winship pumps that action picked up and we boated another 10-15 fish before calling it a day. All in all it was a great day on the water and we had alot of fun.
