I paddled around the creeks off of the river this weekend (Pond Creek/Sam's Creek). Caught plenty of undersized bass and panfish on clouser's.
More to the point, there were thousands and thousands of shad in the creeks. My question: why aren't they being harassed by the stripers? Is this a timing thing (too early in the day/season)?
It be nice to have get a good bend in the 7wt.
