Hit up 8mile , on 5/2 sat launched the kayak at grey light . Shad (3"long) were slamming against the shoreline at different spots of 8mile cove. Not like schools of hundreds but small pods of 10 and 30 , a few would push their way out of the water and flop back in. No visible stiper boils , and all signs of shad disappeared just after sunrise. I chucked 3 different lures into what was chasing the shad but no hook ups , appeared to be very small bass . Fished off and on from 5:30 am to about 1PM , 3 Kayakers trolling and pitching lures , avg 3 fish each 2 striper and 7 smallmouth. I caught this guy trolling around the island exposed at the entry of the cove , sorry for the sun blast just got a gopro silver and forgot about direction i was facing. Anyhow a little of the same down the road from Govt.
I CAN NOT BELIEVE HOW LOW THE WATER IS GUYS ! It really bummed me out , i caught fish but year after year now the fish try in bed and keep getting pushed out do to the ever changing shoreline . Beds are exposed every where i paddled most i found will probably be bone dry in a few weeks with the summer fast approaching. Only found one lmb on a bed . good luck fishing boys !
