After doing some bookkeeping and clean up after the Frostbite Challenge, it was time to relax...for a short time anyway. Dave heard of a bite off the 4A, so off we go, Dave, Pat, Laura and I around 3:00pm. Steam out in near flat conditions and set down in the midst of the fishest water...marks, slicks, thousands of birds diving...we found them. Out for about 10 minutes...one on....then 2. Laura fights the first fish, while Pat takes the second. Land both fish that scale aaround 25 pounds. This was Laura's first striper.

Reset spread and another double header on the same rigs, white trailer on tandem rig and chartruse GRL Shad Parade. Reset and get hit on the grey Ghost Stretch...and I get to boat one, but as usual for old Don, I'm a little short. As I'm fighting my fish, the other Grey Ghost got hit, but didn't stay buttoned.

Worked the area until dusk and headed to the barn with 3 nice 25 pound stripers. Action was hot and a day late for the Frostbite Challenge...murphy's law i guess.

Dave and Laura have pics and will post soon!!!

I knew I had to get Don, Laura and Pat out to catch Stripers since they were stuck on shore for the Tournament. We also need mug shots for next year's Frostbite...mission accomplished!

Good job guys !

Well done, I'm glad to see that Pat, Laura and Don got to set the hook. I really enjoyed this last week, and if I don't fish the VBSF tourneys I would be more than glad to help out again. I finally got all my water problems solved today. Once again congrats on the fish and the Frostbite Challenge........Jake

Way to go guys and gals.

Pretty work on a quick trip out.
