striper outing
we headed out for our first srtiper outing thursday on the lower sac. didn't catch any of the striped beast, but we did learn alot about the preditory world. we saw what looked like a 8" trout leap out of the water three times before it was engulfed in a swirl of water.
while waiting for a school of stripers to come close enough to cast to I was throwing a 3/0 black clouser to some bass that were willing to eat it if stripped quickly using a hand retrieve, and to my surprise a 12 inch squaw ate it as well decided to feed it to the srtipers.
I had a good time and will definately repeat it soon. It is definately gets the adrenaline pumping a little more than the average trout outing does.
