Took Garrett out today on the Moke in search of some stripers and
some crappie today. Launched from Wimpy's by 0900 and trolled down
towards beaver slough. On the way trolling Garrett and I hooked into a
double only to lose both of em. Could not believe that we got a double
and neither of us could land our fish. We ran back through it plugged it
all for nothing else. Eventually we made it back into beaver to find
the Crappie. Got the word from Kevin on where he did good and after 30
mins of searching we got into em and got into em good.

Dropping jigs under the bridge we were getting them every cast.

Every experience I've had fishing for crappie they have always been very
finicky fish that you had to be extremely quiet and stealthy to get and
getting them to bite was a whole other process in itself. Today was not
the case though we were right on top of them and just hammering them.
We probably spent two hours here and the slowest it ever got was 3 or 4
cast without a fish. Must have caught close to 100 fish if not more.
Best experience crappie fishing I've had yet.
Took off in search of some stripers now. Ran over to the north fork since it was low
tide
it was too shallow to troll the south fork. Trolled the north for for
an hour for nothing. Garrett and I were dying to plug the banks, but in
the wind especially its challenging without the bow
mount
trolling motor. We we able to manage though to get the wind to work
with us in a few area's. First spot 1530 in the afternoon Garrett gets a
huge explosion on his spook. Right into it Garrett sticks a pig.

Never got a measurement, but probably 10lbs+ and 30+plus. Nice top water
fish. Kept working the banks in hopes of finding more. I honestly spent
more time on the trolling motor keeping us steady then fishing, which
was fine cause Garrett was still getting em. He grabbed my fly rod and
stuck a couple on that.

Shaker on the fly.
I got a couple bump's on my A-rig, but never stuck anything here. This
area died off for us so we moved on and worked more tules looking for
more fish. After hours of searching I finally hooked into and landed my
first striper of the day on a swimbait.

Small, but still fun and better then none. Worked swimabaits and top
water till sun down and Garrett managed one more nice fish on his spook.

Striper fishing was a little tough for us, but 5 fish, 3 being legal
fish pretty happy with those results. Off of the water today just after
1900.
Good day on the water, figuring out this striper game a little more and more each day. Hope to be back at it soon.
Till Next Time Guys
