Monday:
Benjamin and Cody got here Sunday, but the 20-25 MPH winds kept us off the water. It was 33 degrees this morning, so we waited until 9 am to get out on the water. This morning we went for stripers. Benjamin hooked up in the first 15 minutes and gets a very healthy 24" striper in the boat.

We had 3 other hits in the next 3 hours, but never got a good hookup. Going for crappie this afternoon if we can find them............

They get the best school breaks!!

Got out this afternoon for crappie. I'm afraid the spawn happened early 4 weeks ago . Very few crappie up here shallow. Benjamin did get a 13" crappie and a small dink.

Looks like we may have missed the spawn............
We will get out early tomorrow for stripers.

Tuesday:
Got the boys out this morning before sunrise. 58 degrees and so much warmer than yesterday morning. We get a 25.5" pig within 400 yds of the starting point.

Then the rains come and the rain gear comes out.

Worked the N. Anna section for about 3 more hours with only one hit. Their 2nd cousin is coming down today, so we'll see if we all get out again this afternoon.

That’s a tub for sure….

Got them out this afternoon. Striper fishing is very slow right now. We hooked up after an hour and it was Cody's turn. He landed (with a little help) his first keeper striper at 21.5".

We strained water for the next 2 hours and then called it. Alarm clock goes off early tomorrow morning!

I see a family resemblance. That is a great fish. Love the pic of Cody in the oversized rain jacket!

Wednesday:
Got them out early this morning.

Fish were very scattered. Benjamin hooked up after about 30 minutes and puts a fat 23" in the boat.

Then it was dead for the next 2 hours except for a 19" throwback. Supposed to be windy this afternoon, so we'll see if we can get out.

Can I be an adopted grandson of yours for a day on the water?
