TR Catches a Striper on the W

TR and the W have been bonded by the thrill of the catch. Today TR caught his first striper on the W. We applied the techniques we learned from John and from my outing with David earlier in the year and were once again successful. Maybe not in terms of the amount of fish, but definitely in terms of gaining confidence and knowledge. We trolled and fished cut bait, catching one striper with each method. We also caught a few large mouth bass along the way.I also managed to hook a turtle. I believe it was a Spiny Softshell based on its pointed snout. Don't worry, I got the hook out.

An Evening on the Lake

TR and I went out for some evening fishing. Our target fish was, of course, the striper but all we caught this night were large mouth. Nothing to complain about, of course. Pulling in a fish feels good no matter what kind it is. Sometimes we even caught more than one at a time.
