Went out to the AR with my friend Nikolay for shad today. Otw around
1530 and found the fish almost immediately. Got onto a couple of big
schools
that stayed in a general area around which allowed us to get a quick
few. Maybe 10 mins into it though we saw a HUGE!!! Grey shadow prowl
through the area. A few call them the "Grey Ghost." I have always
referred to him as "The Tank." She is a monster striper probably
40+inches long some 25+lbs. All season I have seen a couple of schoolie
stripers lurking in the area, but no
big guys. Finally I've spotted one and I line a shad out and was dedicated to getting that fish.

Nikolay kept getting into a few shad while I was waiting on my striper.

Fish were
moving
around a lot today with the big momma striper working the area. Made it
hard to stay on the fish, but the few times we did get on em the bite
was good for that short while. Fished today until 1830. Nikolay had
places to be. I had that shad out the entire time we were there too
after I saw the striper, but no love for me today. Maybe someday soon. 3
hours on the water brought roughly 13 shad to the boat with a few more
lost and missed between the two of us.
News on our water, I was told flows will be brought up to 2,000 cfs
sometime in June. Could not get an exact date, but there are plans on
them coming up. There is light at the end of the tunnel for the AR here.
We'll see how things pick up when that happens.
Till Next Time Guys
Mark
