3-17 LKA stripers in the sleet
Got out there this morning to 26 degree temps. Found them where I left them yesterday. Already 3 pontoon live bait fisherman in the area, but they were not catching. In the beginning.......scattered stripers but not eating.
Then schooling stripers and not eating anything I thew at them and the live bait fellas were having no luck either.
So I decided to wait them out and troll over them (would not touch a jig in their face) and the sleet started coming down hard.....not fun. Finally I hook one and get it to the boat to measure a 20.5" keeper.
That was enough getting pelted by the sleet. Headed back to the dock and put the boat back up on the lift until the next time I come down.
Not bad for my first 3 days in the new boat and LKA......at least on keeper striper each day 
.

I just thought that it was cold enough not to use a cooler.
Many a striper have been caught on that Rebel broken back.....

Man you're killing it. So does this mean we wont be seeing you around the AV lakes as much?
Together we'll fight the long defeat.
