Tough fishing for hybrids today. Only landed 3, had another on. Full moon made bait very difficult to catch. 1.5 hours to catch 40 alwifes. Then the wind made boat ...more control almost impossible. I know, lotta excuses. Bent the trailer axle on a dead deer on the on the way. Then hit a poor cat. That hurts. Better days ahead!

Brother Gary and had a good morning on hybrids. Bait was tough to get but after 20 casts we had enough to fish with. We landed 6 hybrids and lost 3 others by 7:30. ...more Caught a couple cats. Biggest hybrid is pictured. Then the wind got up to about 10 mph and made it more difficult to fish the schools we found. Gonna fish till 11, try to find some more. Very fun day!

I fished yesterday morning and this morning. Had a tough trip. But I did manage to land a small hybrid on a crankbait this morning at 5:20. Great fight on a spinning ...more rod! I switched to bait at 6:00. I had netted alwifes earlier and had plenty. One cast and I had a hundred. But I couldn’t buy a striper bite. Caught several cats as a consolation. Fished till 10:30. Hoping to get some good numbers in a week. I’ll be fishing multiple days.
