Today I guided Steve and Debbie for stripers. We launched at 5:45 AM and headed South. We went to the Red Sea and started with minnows. Within minutes Steve had a fish on and Debbie was quick to follow. We kept on catching fish until all of the boats showed up and I headed South. Almost every where that we stopped we caught fish all of the way down to Lupes Bend. There were alot of small fish today but we managed to put some nice ones in the box for dinner. In total we caught around 25 stripers of which 10-12 were keepers. The North wind was miserable but we made the best of it. Steve had the 2 biggest fish of the day with 1 being a 10 pound hen that was released and the other being a 12 pound male that we boxed. It was a great day on the water and I will be back at it on Monday.

Today I guided Leo and Pete for stripers. I decided to head South today to see what was down river. We launched at Ward's Landing and headed South. We stopped South of Lovey's Landing and wormed a couple of rock walls, but the fish were not there so we kept moving. The lovely North wind started ripping by 7:00 AM, so we gave up on the worm and put on minnows. As we reached the bottom of the Red Sea we started getting bit. Leo was the first to strike and Pete was closely behind. We kept moving down the wall when we got into the big school and had a triple hook up. We made 6 more passes in this spot resulting in 4 more triple hookups and a couple of doubles. When the fleet of boats hit I again headed South to see what else was down there. We hit all of the likely spots on the way down and they all were holding a few fish. We fished down to Grimes and then headed back up stream. On the way back up we stopped and trolled a couple of rock walls and managed to pick up another 6 fish. We ended the trip at 11:30 AM having caught more than enough keeper sized fish. Leo caught the biggest fish of the day which was a 10 pound hen that was released. It was constant action all morning and we had a great time.

Today I guided Dan and Cameron for some striper action. We hit the water at 5:30 AM and started working the banks with the rubber worm. We caught a total of 18 fish on the worm of which most were keeper sized fish. Once the sun got on the water we switched over to minnows and were able to catch another 15-20 fish. The action was almost non stop this morning and we were back to the ramp by 10:30 AM. We kept our limits of schoolie sized males from the 4-10 pound range. The biggest fish of the day was a 12 pound hen that was released to make babies. It was a great day on the water with plenty of action for all.
