[cool]Hit the water in the tube at gray light today and kicked south of 33 hole. First fish caught was a 13" lmb on the bettlespin. Kicked over to another cove and got two one pound stripers on the bettlespin. Went over to another cove and got another 13"lmb on the rattletrap. Started jigging in the middle of the cove and got hammered. Nice fighting fish and a 3.5lb striper goes on the stringer with the other two. Go to another cove and get a dink smallmouth and a dink lmb. Toss the trap some more and get hammered again this time by a 2.25lb striper. More for the tacos!!. Start kicking back to my launch area and get one more small lmb before landing. Kept all stripers and released all green bass. Nice day on the water with decent action. Also saw a coyote cruising the shoreline.

Nice bag and pics. Thanks for the report. How far is the hike down to the water at 33? Not too bad with your tube and gear?
