GF's First Top Water Fish

Been a long time since I've gotten Deni out on the water and I told her I had to get her on her first top water striper. Got to B&W just before sun up. Saw Jon and Ben at the ramp in a long ass line at the ramp. No big deal though. Dropped the first Impression in and headed towards the North fork of the Moke. Got to my first spot and I hooked up first on a quick blow up on a super spook. Told Deni to cast there real quick to get in the school that was probably there and she hooked up and we had ourselves a double right off the bat.

Mine taped out at 25. Two solid keepers to the boat, way to start off the morning. We kept working the usual banks for a few LDR's and some missed blow ups, but no more fish to the boat. Slack

tide came quick though and our bite died quick. During the slack I switched over to throwing creature baits for some green carp.

Fun way to kill time. After the tide turned with wind started howling and made it near impossible to plug for us. Tried trolling for an hour, but we got nothing for our efforts doing that. Didn't want to deal with the wind anymore and we had some decent sized fish to the boat so we were happy. Off of the water by 1000, we both have school later anyways. Hope to return with better conditions.

Till Next Time Guys
