Wow you still caught a ton of fish!And it sounds like you had a great time.Did you chum for stripers or did you just troll for them?I havnt been to powell in 3 years! I really want to go this year hopefully around the fall.I used an ocean tactic for chumming the strippers when i was there and it worked awesome!My daughter and my nephew caught about 90% of the fish i was to busy unhooking them and baiting the hooks.I didnt chum pieces of the anchovies into the water because that only feeds them then they go away! I used a chum bag and boy did they stick around !They folow they chum slick and since there is no food around for them to eat only the smelll they come right to the boat and hang around for a long time.It seems they jusy kept coming and we kept catching them .We ended up with 4 coolers worth of stripers .
