Went fishing. Found fish. Caught fish.<br /><br />Finished the day with our 2-man limit of 20 stripers to 5 lbs, plus around 90 or so caught and released. All fish were caught under birds on white tailspinner, sassyshad or slab with a fast retrieve. Most of the day was sunny and pleasant, but we did spend about an hour fishing in driving rain followed by sustained 30 mph winds. Fellow iboater Lewis (loulou22), for the second time, managed to hook a freshwater mussel with a slab, the only fisherman ever to have accomplished this feat (the first is documented here). <br /><br />Amazingly few boats out for a Saturday, especially with the FLW tourney going on there - might have something to do with a high-pressure system pushing hurricane-force winds and severe thunderstorms through the area last night. But the bite is definately ON!
