Striper Fishing Lanier 5.15

    Took the boat out on Lanier this day to try and put local LAKE member (Dana) on some Stripers. I rarely get an early start so we decided 8:30 AM at a near by Lowe's would be a good place to meet up.

    From there we headed to East Bank to put in, stopping for Bluebacks on the way.

   We trolled a it at East Bank without luck then head to Old Federal. Before setting up a troll pattern, we caught up with a couple more LAKE members that were fishing the area. (Pat and Dave). It was good seeing them again. After a nice chat, Dana and I set off to troll a bit.

    Almost as soon as we got the 4 rods set in the water a  hard drag scream went off. I handed it off to Dana and she landed the first Striper!

    We wouldn't see our next Striper until the end of the day at Six Mile. We also netted a few Spots in the mix. Note to self: trolling dead Bluebacks will produce strikes!

Over all it was a great day with good friends.
