Friday evening, me and "Keep Castin'" decided to go and do some overnite fishing at Powell. We've been going consistently the last few months and the fishing hasn't slowed down a bit. We hit the fish buffet again. Fishing from the docks, we threw in all types of baits. Spinners, poppers, jigs, rapalas, and anchovies and were getting hits all night. We caught channels, stripers, bass, crappie, blue gill and even managed one walleye. It was unbelieveable. Caught over 100 stripers a majority were small and skinny. Did manage a few 5lb. Also caught about 15 channel, the biggest around 10lb. (you would have been proud TubeDude!) Fished from 10:30 pm till 5:00 am, took a little nap, then moved to the shallow end near the gasoline station and plucked out smallie after smallie with a spinner. Only few were big enough to keep. Around 9:00am, the action slowed down and we went home, exhausted, but very satisfied. [
] All in all, another great trip. If it wasn't for the full moon, we'd be there again this weekend. (and trust me, it DOES do some wierd things to the fish over there. last full moon, the fish ignored our bait and swam around in circles.)
