Stripers in Wahweap bay today.

Just wanted to share. I found a huge school in between the rental marina and Lone Rock Beach. I got into them heavy. Hey we're in about 60 ft of water and I caught them all morning long.
Very soft bite. Almost like fishing for largemouth with a finesse bait.

Did you spoon em up or drop chovies?

Spot locked on top of 'em, chovies on the noggin

Tried jiggin. No luck. Used chovies till I ran out. Used rib cage meat. That worked just as well

Awesome! Will hit it up, oct 9-13. We have a spot in Warm Creek Bay we like, just need to figure out something in Navajo Canyon.
Thank you.

Started this morning with a nice cup of coffee sitting on the back of the cabin cruiser about 6 am. Suddenly some splashes. I wouldn't call it a boil but a few striper were chasing single shad. I could see the shad leaping out of the water.
So what did I do, you ask? Well of course I grabbed my rod and went to work. I caught 3 in about as many minutes.
I was going to head home early today but decided to give my spot anther try and it didn't disappoint. In a little over 2 hours, I caught 11 nice, fat, healthy stripers. I wanted to stay longer but I couldn't. Back to the cruiser to clean the fish, pack up and go home.
I'll be back for the eclipse.
I wonder how that will affect the fishing?

I ran into a nice school last week. They were doing the same thing light bites, not really aggressive, really needed to put it right in front of their face.

Thanks for the report. Sounds like good fishing fun to me.
