TIMES --------------------- 6-8pm
CONDITIONS ------------- mostly calm
AREA FISHED ------------- main lake 12-20 feet of water
WATER TEMPERATURE-- probably low 60's
FISHING METHOD ------- drifting
BAIT/LURES USED ------- Herring/top water plugs/pheobes
NOTES --------------------- The first day out on the "fishing machine" this year started a little slow. That all changed on the second drift when my buddy bri got a state stocked brown. A couple minutes later my line shot out from my strike guard and I knew what was on the other end, striper. A split second later bri's pole bent down into the water also. I had my drag set pretty loose but this fish had no problem crushing my six pound test off(probably gonna go with the 10pound braided next time). At least bri ended up landing his after a decent fight, probably about 4pounds 20 inchs. Luckily I redeemed myself with a decent size smallmouth at a little under 3pounds. In the end it wasn't a bad day out on the lake.
