Anybody go out and try the stripers this weekend? Sat am looked ok but it got progresively worse aftter lunch sat. I was unable to go due to an “excessive” amout of honeydooo’s on my list. Just curious and hope that nobody was caught out yesterday pm. If you were, hope you are ok. Todd

Got a 26" about 5:30am and a 23" about 6:00am. After that only a couple of throwbacks.
i built up my ‘honey points’ for upcoming weekends. i didn’t think it was too smart to try and get out on my wife’s first mother’s day weekend. an unhappy pregnant wife is not terribly conducive to hassle free fishing. 
Yes phish-trying to keep my points up too. Have you talked to sharky about the last we of the month yet-haven’t seen him here today or either he is recovering from the pier from the we. Congrats on the fish damon-hard to catch them with 40mph winds-you must have a better anchor than I do! Even as big as my boat is, I went over ■■■■ last night on the way home from maw in law’s maw day supper, I bet the waves were 5feet at 1-2 sec intervals! Kickin!

lotta shorts on PB and FL in Bear. couple of keepers mixed in with shorts on cut anchored in the big water. marked some nice arches in front of the towers - no takers. Saturday, of course.
Don’t have to worry about the anchor if you leave the boat at home and fish from shore!
yea-started seeing bigger arches as well. Tired of the shorties-all of the little ones try to swallow the whole ■■■■ bait-half the size of fish,circle hooks won’t work on the tinies. How about u-rigs, anybody else trying them?

My wife and I spent the weekend in St. Petersburg with a daughter celebrating Mother’s Day. I have not fished since my last report. I hope to pull some u-rigs sometime this week.
dernflatlander … what bottom depth were you fishing ?
The more you fish,the better you lie.

started shallow early in the back of Bear 5 to 15 feet. moved out to 35 to 40 humps near condos where most and largest came from. the guy with me had to leave at 2 so i didn’t spend much time on the fish near the towers.
thanks, I’m gonna try those depths and structure tommorrow in buf.crk. …If it goes well , I will return some info
