On the lake at 08:00, rowing the pram. Dropshotting was good around Long Point. The stripers showed, of course, on my way in at noon. I hooked them on anything I threw at them. I was wishing I had the flyrod! I had zero competition. Hot sun too!
I took some pix of the action and need only to figure out how to post.
If you don't know where you're headed, any road could get you there.

I'm excited to see some mendo striper pics.  Can't wait for the mendo tournament.

Bill posted a "how to post photos" on this site a while back.

Here's the link to the old post.

You didn't see any boils until noon? Were the boils by the dam? Thinking of giving it a shot tomorrow.

I launched at the north end. I didn't notice any smells.?
The fish were on the flats, 25' to 35' of water, between the boat-in campground and north to the northeast campground. I did see some half-hearted busts at 8:00 but nothing worth chasing.
I'll be there tomorrow. I'm gonna' fish flyrod poppers for big bluegills I saw at Long Point.

the smelliness is due to the yearly lake inversion?

just happened to read ron kovach's trout fishing in california last night
and saw reference to this phenomenon.
