Fishing was pretty good, for both bass and huge stripers. I forgot about the striper derby until i was at the 5/405 cruising @ 65 mph! The bass/stripers were chasing shad in good schools so we were just dart heading and spooning, we probably had 20 Largemouth up to 5 lbs. and 5 stripers up to maybe 15 (but we had some foaming by the boat at least 20ish), not bad for a 1/2 days fishing. The Kanji fish wasn't that big, but decent maybe 4 and some change. I threw it parallel to the bank that a bunch of fish were schooling on just a minute before and i guess this guy was hanging out waiting for another round. Oh, for all of the shad guys...The stuff is hanging out at the main ramp and it's easy pickin's, it's cool also to watch about 50 or more bass attack them right on the ramp, but dont waste your time fishing these fish they're way to smart to eat an artificial.
