Wow, thanks guys! We've heard about the umbrella rigs, but I've never fished them myself - yet! Do the stripers hang out around the surface, or are they deeper by nature? I'm guessing that they're like every other fish and are unpredictable.

I read about the crappie camp and we may swing by. We're staying in a cabin down there because my dad has had his share of tents... :D

Thanks again!
