my son and i fished the club striper contest this weekend.we left the dock at 5am saturday and headed west.we anchored up and had baits in the water at 5:30 and fish on at 5:31.it was a 3lber that was quickly released as we knew it would take something twice that size to place.we picked away at white perch,
bullheads,smallmouth and crappie for about two hours when my son gets the hit
we were looking for.after a good battle we landed a 6lb 4 oz striper.we fished till
10am and headed in to check in our fish.we headed back out around 6pm and got soaked to bone in the first 10 minute but the bite was great right after the rain stopped catching perch,smallies,bulleheads,walleye.my son caught 3 more stripers but none over the 6-4 mark and were released.we rapped it up at 9:30pm and headed in with my son cathing 5 stripers and i had zero saturday.
sunday we we leave the dock at 4:30am and head to a new area in hope of finding some bigger fish as the leader is a 7 plus.we start the fisrt drift and
my bait gets crushed right away.10 minutes later we land a good 6 plus and for me the skunk is of.thirty minutes later my son gets a 5lber and i miss one.we run up again to that same drift and my son hooks up with another good one right away.we are starting to think we made a good choice when all of the sudden we have stripers busting all around the boat.they are eating everything and three rods go off at once.i miss one and my son is trying to fight two.he loses one and hands me the empty rod and as i go to clear it i
get crushed and now we have two on again.we get them both to the net and they would end up being 2nd place for me and 3rd place for me son.thank God we were all alone because if someone would have filmed it they would have made 1st place on "worlds funniest videos" for sure.we stayed and caught a few more smaller one and headed in at 10:30 as the boat traffic was getting
ugly.all and all a great weekend with my son on the lake.
