Pacemaker Fishing Forum

Cody slept in, but Benjamin was ready to go by 6 am.  We got out and looked for 2 hours before we found some fish.  Wanted to jig, but everything was scattered and not schooled up.  So we put out the trolling rods and did big circles where we were seeing the fish.   First hit gets off in a few seconds .  We keep at it and finally a drag squealer.  Benjamin get it to the boat without tangling the other 5 lines and I net it.  Real healthy 23-24" striper.  We go over hundreds of fish on the FF, but they aren't feeding.  Finally get another fish on and Benjamin repeats no tangle netted fish.  At 10:00 we decided to call it quits.  We had fish tacos last night, so these go to the freezer.
