Labor Day Fishing

[Spot77]

So MIke and I made it out around 4:30 for some late Labor Day fun. Got to the marina, and the "oh ****" factor was spun up tight. AA County dive team, ambulances and DNR police everywhere. Not good.

Turns out a guy fell off of a sailboat around 12:30pm and they were still looking for him. As dusk approached, 2 helicopters and at least 6 DNR and coast guard boats were still searching. Trooper 1 lit up the water about 200 yards from where we were anchored around 8:15pm and we heard them on the VHF saying they spotted something reflective in the water. It was just a clam line marker.....


Anyway, the fishing was good. We landed about 9 or 10 decent Stripers before heading in. All in 14' of water or less using light tackle. Stopped at a favorite pier that is well lit to enjoy a little topwater action as the water was exploding with fish. Caught a ton of fish, but nothing of any size. Oh well, a little fun with the ultralights was just the right way to end the long weekend.

Hope everyone got to stretch their lines a little this weekend....supposed to rain most of this week I think.
