Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Got out on Anna around 11:30 am for crappie about a mile from the house.  Caught around 35 or so by 12:30.  Had 4 nice keepers in the live well.  Get a call from my wife who is looking out the window that birds are diving and a lot of water action out from our dock.  Haul a$$ over there and birds are having a field day.  Catch a 23 inch striper right off the bat.  Put it in the cooler and dump the crappie.  Birds shut down.  About 20 minutes later I get slammed.  Can't make up any line on this one......drag squealing.  Eventually I make up some line and boat a THICK SHOULDERED 27 incher.  What a battle!  And that was it.....fish shut down and no birds for the next hour.  Nice to have a wife as a scout to put me on fish where I could not see them!!!
