Fishing Forum

Got there about 6 am.. Chummed up the water with some ground frozen sardines. I was using 2 poles and I couldnt keep up! While I would be rebaiting one pole, the other pole was going nuts. Lasted a good 2 hours.. I was using the same rig that I use for stripers in Mojave and I was missing the majority of the fish cuz they are much smaller that most mojave fish. Decided I should downsize hooks and started nailing almost everyone. Caught about 25 stripers and 1 Catfish..Honestly I lost count haha. Stripers were 95% dinks but good pan size nonetheless. Hooked up on 2 really nice fish.. about 3lbs. Gave all my fish to the Latino dudes next to me. They caught a turtle I helped unhook for em.. they were freaking the hell out when they reeled it in. It was classic!!

Also got to witness my first striper boil!! I have never really fished Mead much so I have never witnessed one but that boil was intense! It was all peacful and quiet then all of a sudden about 200 yards off shore there was an explosion of fish. Slapping and jumping, it really did look like water boiling from that distance. Lasted a good 3-5 minutes. Wish I had a boat = /

Only took a couple pics with my phone.. Ran out of memory on it = /. Pics are of one of the dinks and the turtle.

[cool]Way to go on the stripers. Nice to hear that they are hitting and also boiling. I'm headed out tomorrow to try from the tube. Also nice cpr on the turtle. Always saw them but never caught one.

I usually buy 1 bag of frozen sardines and one bag of anchovies. I use the Anchovies for bait and like to chum the water with a bag of ground sardines. The sardines seem to be a bit more oily and a little more smelly when ground up.
