Default Slammed them at Smith Mountain Lake

Had a great trip this week to Smith Mountain Lake. We caught about 40 fish in 2.5 days of fishing. Monady afternoon and Tuesday were the best. Tuesday morning we chased the stripers down one side and up the next as they were busting on the bait against the shores. Yesterday was slow with the bite finally turning on a little bit around 3pm.

Just about everything. While looking for them the first evening, we pulled umbrella rigs until we caught them. Then we used live shads. In the morning, we cruised around looking for them, dropped some live bait down to some that we're hanging out with little luck. The the birds finally got off their butts and we followed themtothefeeding strippers busting the bait on the shores. There we casted 6 inch rapalas. hooked up on every 5 th cast. They we moving fast so we had to chase them around for an hour. Then we went back to live bait and a little trolling. The last day was tough. Birds weren't working and the bite never really googling. Fish must have been stuffed from the day before. Water tempt was around 50.

Was a lot of fun..
