We were there also we camped at Halls Crossing.
I really like striper fishing during boils and like you we saw very few and didn't catch any stripers on the lake chasing boils.
I did catch a few nice fish though with a tube jig right off the the dock at the ferry ramp. 1 largemouth bass that went around 4.5 pounds 1-small mouth that was around 3.5 lbs. and a skinny striper. Lots of average size smallmouth most the weeked.
I just don't understand why they aren't boiling, there are shad everywhere you go. Backs of bays are so full of shad you can't tell where the bottom is in 24 feet of water. We to went North looking all the way to GHB Saturday and Sunday. Went all the way down to Slick Rock at daybreak yesterday and didn't see anything.
We may head back down in October between all the hunts.
Thanks for the reply, glad I'm not the only one not seeing boils. Weird year.
