Caught 45 in all...kept 30 that was 9in or better fish...stripers/hybrids were rampaging. Water was heavy stained and 53-55*, fish were in 20-25 fow, started out long lining double 16th's went to a 16th and a 32nd later in the day. BG Baby Shads were on fire today trolled at .8...Got to meet Hotwater and Bigfishheads, always a pleasure to meet C.D.C. members.
