| Today I ran into the biggest feeding frenzy in a while. Stripers crashing the surface everywhere chasing Alewife. Perfect conditions for topwater!!!! It paid off with 3 keepers, the largest at 34" and smallest at 28". |

| Yeah, the Striper are up that far. As long as there are Alewife, the Striper will follow, it doesn't matter. Went to the same spot today and caught 2 more keepers. Both days noon til about 1:30, then the fish stopped hitting. I have to figure out how to post pics. Most people won't believe the size of these fish. |

| Thanks for the heads up. Guess I'll head down by Loomis since I don't think we will be getting rain this weekend. |
