Del Valle 6/11

Our last outing we caught 6 stripers. Will be out again on Wed. at gates opening. Ch 69

Darnit Frank.       Maybe you didn't get the memo, I'm not out of school until Friday.   Actually I won't be able to go for another couple weeks or so.  But I swear I'm going to hook up with you one of these days.

Good luck and leave a few for the rest of us.

On the last two outings at Del Valle I haven't been using Minnows but Popsicles...Very simple setup with a 4/0 or 5/0 hook and free lining. Let the striper run a few feet and surprise. You have to have a reel you can free bail and it's a total blast.

But I swear I'm going to hook up with you one of these days.
Anytime when you get back...Just call my name and i'll be there...doo whop doo whop

Work sucks. Good luck fellas!

Frank, how are you working your popsicles?  Are you just drifting, trooching, or are you anchored?  Are you off the bottom or is your bait suspended - I suppose it might depend on the water depth.

Michael, Free lining I guess is trooching them. Usually back onto the bank and when line starts to be taken I push off/paddle towards my cast then set the hook.Best place for this method is a bank with a good drop off, usually a bank that goes from a couple of feet to a drop off of 10' to 15'.
