  Subject: Smith Lake, Alabama

Submitted by KingfisherB #12993

Date Fished: 4/29/2008
Water Temperature: 69
Water Clarity: 4 feet or greater

Fished Smith Lake this morning from 6:30 to about 11:00 for some big stripers and spots. We witnessed one of the most dramatic shad blow ups I have ever seen. We were free-lining goldfish over this long point and about 50 feet from the boat the action started slow, so I grabbed a spook jr. and threw past the action, the spook jr. was demolished. The spots blew up first but no hook up, kept twitching the spook till a striper finally got it, an 18 pounder. But what was amazing was the explosion on this huge school of shad, I mean bait fish, spots, and stripers were all coming air born. The funny thing was that I was the only one with a bait-caster rigged for top water action, by the time I landed the fish it was over. I have seen some good top water action before but this was something else. By the end of the trip we had 3 spots all around 2 pounds each and the one striper. I believe the stripes are feeding mostly at night and early in the morning, but high pressure and cold front made fishing tough. We had plenty of fish look at our bait but no takers. Fun morning though.
