Put in at CFP about 9:00 to see if we could find Pete a big Striper. Ran out and found some gulls working and set up shop under them. Not much happening. Picked up a few keeper LM fairly deep on crankbait, twister grub, and bucktails. Gulls slowed and then quit totally. We decided if we couldn't find any Stripers we would try for Bass. <br /><br />Pete got Confused and caught a Drum, then a Channel Cat, and then a Flathead Cat. I explained that we were fishing for Bass and to get busy and fish for the right kind of fish. He did a little better and then his confusion rubbed off on me and I caught a good Drum that I was sure was a Striper emoBang and then a good Crappie. emoScratch <br /><br />Anyway we had 11 keeper LM with the 2 best at 3 3/4 lbs. Nothing large, but enough size to give the string good pull. All the Bass were caught 16-20 ft of water. We tried for the shallow bite in the same area others had some good fish a couple days earlier, but nothing happening. Think that cold nite moved them deeper. <br /><br />No Stripers today, but had fun, oh yes Pete caught a fresh water Mussell that must have weighed 4# looked like a football. I didn't know they grew that big. We may have to change his handle to "Trashman" emoPoke <br /><br />All fish released for another day. Saw TnDoe at the ramp when we were taking out at 3:00. I gave her a "tip" on where to find the giant mussells.<br /><br />Regards, Labman
