with all the rain the surface temp dropped 6 degree's with that and the stained to muddy water nows a good time for trolling. if you can get up the rivers thats even better.

If striper is your game check out this video from the 25th. the guide is Jason Hammond if you want a good trip with the chance at some big uns. http://www.hammondsfishing.net/forum...hread.php?t=51 after watching the video and the reports I am heading out friday to try my luck at the striper

Keith, I checked WarHill thursday and it was still closed.

Tell Cathy she did a great job. That video was fun. Now if only I had that kind of luck when it comes to striper fishing.
