Took my wife and two daughters down to the dam for a catching trip yesterday. LoL The stripe were thick and I just let them cast spoons and jigs until they were tired of it. My girls usually don't care for one of dad's fishing trips but if a catching trip is involved, they're in. It was good to be out on the water, it's been awhile with work and travel lately. Water temp was 83.5 and current not too bad. Needed the current to keep the stripe up on top and slashing at anything that came by. They were boiling up out of the water chasing all the shad, and that kept the girls interested. They weren't big, only a pound or less, but with the current, they pulled good and the girls loved it. Won't be long and the crappie will be picking up again. Good way to end the summer as they go back to college next weekend.
