govment cheese - montananinnv - 03-20-2011
went to government wash and launched the scanoe, got there at about 6am. hooked and landed 2 stripers. 1 was bout 1.5 maybe 2 pounds and the other i weighed at 4.2. lil windy and cloudy but pretty warm and a good mornin. forgot my new anchor in the garage, that kinda sucked but oh well

it was mostly miller lite but had a pbr as a kicker. i seen one guy catch a few carp from shore, didnt really notice what the other guys did today. the carp are everywhere at government. big schools sucking at the surface

last week at boxcar cove i tried all sorts of lures, cranks, top water, suspending, rubber and jigs with trailers for no luck. this week at government wash i put a hook at the end of the line and a 3/8 ounce bell sinker about 2 feet up from it and used a whole anchovie or sardine, not sure what i had, which ever the shorter ones are. we paddled out deep in the cove and casted and just let the light wind drift us towards shore and bounced the sinker off the bottom.
both the fish i got were probably 75 yards from shore in about 15-20 feet deep right on the bottom. they hit really lightly and was kinda hard to tell if it was just bottom or a bite, i set the hook alot on bottom bounce i think but a few time it was a striper
