I hope you have been able to enjoy your time at the lake this year. It sure has been an unusual one. It seems the fish are on a different pattern then we have seen in prior years, with hot spots sometimes being at the dam and then all the way up above Hales Fort Bridge, Indian Point and beyond on the Roanoke River side. Heck, in my cove, even the alewives were on a different pattern this year. I also think that Becky’s and Betty’s have not been as productive as in prior years. Large schools seem to be hard to find at times and when you do, the bite can be slow. At least that is what I have been seeing and hearing. I myself, have had a hard time getting out there and trying for myself. But fish are being caught so you should be out there fishing.

When you have grandkids, just fishing at the dock can be all the fun you need. My grandsons recently had a lot of fun with bluegill, catfish, white perch and even a citation yellow perch. And on the few striper trips I was able to squeeze in for them, we did catch stripers which was quite a thrill for them. I hope you had or will have similar experiences.
The Club did have it’s in-water Striper Boat Show on June 30 and given the storm of the previous night and the heat, I believe we did have a decent turn out. For those who did venture out, we trust they did pick up some ideas after looking at the many different types of rigs that were shown. We thank all the participating members for taking the time and effort to get their boats to the show. Probably the number would have been higher if some of the boats weren’t stuck in their li fts without power to get them down.
Jessie Saunders surprised us by ducking out for a few minutes, catching a striper by the bridge and bringing it back to the dock. He wanted to have something unusual to show our attendees.
See you on the water. Bob
