I got out this morning to hit a few brushpiles with the dropshot. It was nothing but dinks this morning on the worms so I decided to hit my striper dink hole on the way back in just to feel a good tug. I caught plenty of dinks that were suspended over timber and finally found an opening to drop the spoon down to 100 on a clean bottom. It worked out great and I was able to pull out a big boy from the depths. It was a hot slow morning with hardly any wind but the striper fishing turned out pretty good. If you want to bypass the dinkfest and get to the big striper, a good starting point is around the 5:20 mark.

That's a nice chunk. Good deal. That's it, I'm burning my last uncalled vacation day in September and fishing during the week.

Wow - unbelievable. Seems like every drop. And the big one was pulling drag. Awesome - keep the reports coming.

Man - I sure hope this bite continues into the cold weather months. It's really amazing to watch. Nice job as usual.

Jocko, I did catch a few of them on consecutive drops but the seat keeps moving while the camera it sitting on the seat so I usually edit that out. I need a better camera set-up. Depending on the heat and water temps, the bite should last a while longer. Maybe into early Oct.??

Steve, you need to drag your boat over here for some of this before it's gone. If you want to jump in with me sometime you've got an open seat.

What size rod and reel are you using? Looks like a pretty stout rig.

The reel is a Penn Fierce, probably around a 6000 model and the rod is a 7' Ugly Stik heavy action casting rod. I've got it loaded with 30lb Big Game mono and no need for a leader. I can pretty much have my way with these fish using that combo.
