Today I guided Butch Davis and Jim and Nadene Haynes for stripers. We met at Ward's Landing at 5:30AM, launched the boat and headed down stream. We stopped just below Lovey's and started worming the banks, but could not get bit so we switched over to minnows. We started drifting at the Red Sea and it did not take long for Butch to catch the first fish, a nice keeper for the box. We began working our way down stream and caught fish every where that we stopped all of the way down to Lupe's Bend. The fish were very active and it seemed like we had to weed out all of the 16"-17.5" fish out of each spot before we could catch the keeper fish. We had several double hook ups today and even a couple of triples. Most of the fish were under sized but we stuck with it and managed to get 8 nice keepers for the box. In total we landed roughly 40 fish today and the action was non stop. The best part of the whole trip was that we never saw another boat on the water all day, we had the whole river to ourselves. Another great trip with some great client's.
