I fished here a couple of days ago and hooked up on a real nice striper that bent my 7 wt. rod in half and tore out line but, alas, he got unbuttoned just as I was getting him to the kayak:

So, decided to try again this morning for a few hours. Well, no stripers this time, but did hook up on enough of these to keep me happily entertained:

Nothing big. Got them on a size 1/0 chartreuse/white flashtail Clouser fished shallow over weedbeds next to rock walls with a floating line. By tying them with small dumbbell eyes and utilizing rapid strips on a floating line, I was able to fish them over and through some pretty thick but fishy-looking water. 8)
It was a gorgeous day today -- sunny, warm, calm conditions. Even got to see some "fall colors" (and caught one bass in this very spot):

A great time to be out there! :) Won't be much longer now before it is simply just cold every day. :(
