Went to Middle River this morning hunting Stripers. I launched at safe light with the wind blowing pretty good. I started out throwing a spook, hoping for that big blow-up. I went downstream under the Hwy. 4 bridge throwing the Spook, a Rattle Trap and Swimbaits. I fished for about 2 hours with no bites. I let the current push me back toward the bridge, slowly against the wind. When I started under the bridge I tossed a red/white Hairaiser up against the bridge pilings in about 15 feet of water. As soon as it hit the bottom it was slammed by a nice fat 10# Striper. I fished around the bridge for about another hour without any more bites before I got blown away by the wind.

My best California striper yet.
