O.K. I got my new homemade rod holders that I designed and help build on the boat. I got my new homemade planer boards that I made. I got my newfound striper fishing knowledge from the last tournament and from Tommy (thanks). I go by Richard’s and get some herring. So I am all ready to load the boat. I put in at the dam and head over towards Beards Creek. I get all set up with 4 boards out, 2 free lines, and one cork rod. Only problem was the fish didn’t cooperate. I caught 1 catfish about 5 lbs. and 2 other strikes but no other fish. Still better than sitting at home. But I am determined to figure these things out. Oh well, here are some pics of my homemade stuff.
Edit: The water temp. was in the low 50’s and fairly clear. I did not mark many fish on the depth finder. Plenty of birds sitting around, though.
I made 8 of these…
