Gov't wash 11/11/11

[syncityangler]

hit the wash about 10am started throwing a super spook jr around and wham biggest topwater explosion I have ever seen or had. ziiiiiiiiing goes the drag on my medium action reel. nice fight only to get tangled in the newly submerged brush I did manage to get the fish out and was able to see it for a whole 3 seconds before the fish shook off. I would say it had to be 6-7+lbs striper... I seen 3 huge boils right off shore. no other action for me my son got 3 carp 5.3, 6.7, 8.9lb'rs in that order in 3 casts, and lost one too. my daughter and I took the skunk[pirate]. off the water at 3:30 beautiful day on the water lots of fishermen.

yeah but first my son chummed up the area with a corn, oatmeal, cornmeal, strawberry extract, and corn juice mixture I whipped up, and that brought the carp in close and he basically sight fished them.[fishon] I also would like to add that the shad were so thick you could walk across them. and me without a cast net :-|

Figures lol... After seeing the millions of shad in hole33 I bought a net and haven't seen them since... There is little patches of 20 here and there and the guys throwing nets spend at least 2 hours and get maybe 10.. To much work man throwing a lure for 2 hours will yield better results IMHO.... If I saw that mat of thousands again I would put some time in but 30min for a single shad ain't worth it...
