Mendo stripers!

Went out in my little Whaler w/ only an electric motor and chased them down! We spent a half hour watching them bust in the distance as we tooled over to them. Once there, the fish did not disappoint. Got one on a white buzzbait. F-U-N! Can you say that?
Also got them on the trusty Zooms, rigged weightless. Just reel the Zoom slowly, patiently, watching it, and it was gone in a swirl of water.
Great weather, overcast and cool. Very calm. Very quiet. All to ourselves. We fished between 9 and 11:30.
I was wishing for my yak.
We launched from the south ramp and went across to the little cove just south of Crappie cove. They were busting in amongst the branches of a submerged tree there!
Fish on!

Nice Juan, that must have been something else getting one on a topwater!

Juan are they plumping up for the winter?

I saw the high overcast and the low-pressure and was wondering...glad you got em.

Thanks for the report, Juan!

I'm gonna try the swingshift tomorrow afternoon.

thnx for the report Juan,I can't wait to get one on a lure!....now you know your gonna get asked "Pics?, where are the pics?!   we were talking of Mendo and the need to get up there soon.

Juan,

We missed you at Elk, but thanks for the report! It's nice to hear that the stripers are back on top!
