    Default First Hatch Report - 6-26-12

    Shad-Shmad
    I had a striper trip planned for this morning but my client wanted to do a shad trip this evening instead. I decided to call Bryce T from Beula Fly Rods and see if he could sneak out for an early morning try. He said yes-yes, so off we went. Put in at Howe and headed up river to a spot that I thought might have a few of my favorite fish waiting for us. It took 15 minutes or so but we started getting bit. Bryce was chucking the PoleDancer and I was going deep. I hooked a few schoolies and B.T. had one blow up-missed fish and one follow. We moved a few times until we found a section that held a nice group and we took turns casting and catching for two hours. Bryce is a great caster and an even nicer guy and we had a blast taking turns catching eager, hard fighting fish of all sizes. I freaking love Striper fishing !! We ended up with 24 fish to the boat a few doubles and many other missed grabs. Oh yea and I caught a fat girl that almost bottomed out my 25# Boga on a Olive colored Pike Minnow imitation that I tied. Great - Great morning.
    Thanks Bryce
