			Got up @ 3:30 to see this...1.5 hr drive, ready boat, get bait...this about half way of 10 mile run to fishin' hole 
		
		
		
		
		
		
			![]() ...runnin' about 40... First hour and a half, lookin' BLEAK...can't find 'em...no sign no trace...Hartwell only 1,000 miles of shoreline...we look some more...find some birds; they're only hovering, not feedin'...several loons, but this place the most promising, so we put bait in the water...two largemouths 1.5 and 8 lbs...OK...then it starts...all around us...feedin' fish...w/5 lines in the water, sometimes can't get to all the bent rods...in less than 2 hrs we boated and released 25-30 stripers and hybrid...it was a Chinese Fire Drill!! :o ![]() This one of the small hybrid:the action had just slowed enough to get a pic...we had tossed back many of these twice as big as the one above... ...and for good measure, a coupla 10-12 lb stripes ![]() If ya know what "Striper Thumb" is, both of us got a pretty good case ;)
