[cool]Well, I finally got my striper....from a floattube!! Went fishing after work today at Hemenway Point. Thanks for the heads up on the trout plant! I was about 300 yards off the point and 20 minutes into it when the fish hit my 6"Storm rainbow swimbait. This guy put up a very fun fight for 10 minutes, towing me around in small circles. When I finally got him to the net I was amazed at the size of him. He taped out at 32" long and weighed in at 11lb. 14oz. That was such a rush! I put him on the stringer and continued to fish for a couple more hours for nada before getting out. I saw some guys fishing the point from shore and one of them was hooking up good on the trout with a spoon of some kind. They also provided me with an audience. Saw a few boils where the stripers were chasing the trout. Even had a 16" trout speed over my legs in an effort to escape! In all it was an exciting day on the water.
