I had the pleasure of having Mark "LDR" Adams and Larry "Ducket technique" Brenner on board for last evenings "covert action striper adventures". We had some action to...or at least some did...right Larry;-) Larry showed up at the boat with a whole box of McStick (and I forgot to hijack it...hey it was 1am when I dropped him at his car...the poor guy maybe has had 2 hours sleep) and a new Boyd Duckett rod that he had yet to bend with a fish...not anymore as Larry was the fishmister last night. It didn't matter if we bumped him to the back of the boat to get clean up he still caught fish. He was on his game. He did let me cast his Duckett rod 2x...no more!

We all used the exact same lure...McStick with white and purple. I have no idea if the Long A would have done a well or better but I do know the McStick done good! This night time stuff kills an "old man" but it is crazy fun when in the darkness of night a monster striper hits your lure and explodes on the surface. I had a really nice one do some tail walk like a tarpon last night and even had some hits boat side...if that won't wake you up I don't know what will....

I have more trips booked for the next couple of days so Larry hold me some McSticks and I'll be by to pick them up. For those on the West side of the lake Hammond's carries them too.

Here are some pictures from last night’s trip...

Even the spots couldn't refuse...

Way to go guys ,I hope the bite is on tonight i will be heading out about 730 ,Bill your right if an explosion want wake you up nothing will .Great job !!

NICE FISH! Got me thinking about heading out Friday night for a few.

Bill, could you please explain a little about the technique your using? Possibly speed of the "McStick", are you casting it up to the shore and creating a wake, sub surface? Location like pockets, points, areas, etc?

Inquiring minds want to know.

As slow as you can reel and then slow it down;-) Any where herring would be this time of year...backs of pockets, grass, rocks. Cast to the bank and slow steady was the ticket last night. Lights on docks will work too.

Off topic....Guys reminder that the Phil Niekro Skins and Fins event is April 1 and 2. We still have some golf and fishing opportunities available...

ANOTHER new Lowrance hat. This is becoming an issue.

Great to see you guys caught some fish!

I think I can tell where you were from the background

Nice job guys. I like the slow down slow down retrieve.
