Crazy good stripers

[BIGFISHJIM]

Once every few years you have a day where where you can't get your line down to depth without reeling in a striper. Today was the day. We were about to go in after lunch. It was well over 100 degrees and all of a sudden the screen lights up with with hundreds of lines. Fish after fish until we ran ran out of anchovies. And they weren't skinny. All nice fat ones up to 5# range. Just inside halls creek on left wall. One more hit in the morning before we bug out.

I’ve fished that area with great success in years past ! Have fun and it’s great to have an awesome day !

Definitely been one of my go-to spots the last couple years. Had good luck in several places along the left side from the mouth almost all the way into the start of the bay.

Are you talking about right here in the mouth of the canyon to go into halls or is it further into halls?

I have had luck from the point that continues out into the main channel to the south east of your pin all the way in towards the little draw just before the mouth of the bay, and usually on the western side of the canyon.

Right there

I found that spot from another friend of mine that is on this site that fished it with @KYKevin . That to me is what makes wayneswords.net the best. I read everything on here whether it is fishing or not and I have learned allot from it. I need to start getting back to the lake and start fishing because just like @Dungee said you dont see a boil from your living room.Also have to give a shout out to @Chovyboy , @Rush and @Dworwood and @last wild human my crew. I am bringing @Jebadiah with me this trip ,if I did not mention him here , I would be hearing about all the way to the lake. and my helper is @Obi-Juan there is that. And my best friend is @Ramon

Thats great! When they bite like that I just send the jig down bare, they still take it! Thay only happened twice at Powell and once for wipers at Yuba where they were taking a naked jig. Congrats! I cant wait to get back on Powell after the tourist pack it in, weather cools down and Kokanee closes.

No time. Used to fish there a lot too.

 

[Row]

[desert shep]

[desert shep]

I was down this past weekend , all of these spots where like fishing the Maytag Straits , did catch trolling by what used to be the Island .

Beware of the big Whale coming out of the water by the Buoy .

Was there yesterday. “Big Whale” if you’re referring to the flat-topped rock near Hall’s Creek buoy is about 6” down. Clear if you’re looking for it.

Went to the spot listed above - did not see any significant number stripers together. But was scouting, not really searching.

How deep did you fish? Is this typical? We caught 8 2 1/2 lbs in what I think is Stanton Creek about 30’ down in 42’ water.

Are we looking too shallow?

 

[dallas massie]

I trolled out from the Buoy to what was the Island in 40ft to 20ft and did pretty well , with a Lv500 lipless crankbait sometimes with a snap weight . The Whale was marked with a little raft and a piece of foam .
