Buggs Island 5-29 & 5-30

Took the family camping for a few days last week at Staunton River State Park... I thought about fishin for some crappie but the catfish were biting so well that I just couldn't... I took my dad and father-in-law out on Friday and we caught 21 catfish...

Here's the father-in-law (2RICH) with a nice one

and I caught my first ever striper...

he was 21.5 inches long so he was too short to keep but he was fun to catch

Saturday my grandfather came down to the lake with his boat so my dad fished with him... Between the two boats we caught a total of 36 cats that day...
The fish that we caught were 12-16' deep in 22-40' of water
We didn't catch any real big ones (biggest around 13 lbs) but we had a blast...
