Water Temperature: 67
Water Clarity: 0 Well it's 2:30a Sunday morning and as you can see we tried a night trip with luck. We decided at the last minute on Saturday evening to try it, figuring that the so called storm and wind would have kept the weekend worriors off the lake. I called up to Oakwood lodge at the last minute to get some bait and John said he would wait on us. So we got a couple dozen LARGE blue backs and headed to Balus at around 6:30p. The wind was not too bad and eventually died off. We headed south and beat the banks and points until night time. Landed a few spots on flukes while pulling live bait. Then at about 10:15p the bites turned on pulling baits around points to the main channel. We doubled up with the stripers TWICE. When I would get a hit we would turn around and hit the same point again and this kept paying off for us. I have not had much luck in the past fishing for stripers at night but it seems my luck has changed! I must say that you need good active baits at night and the Oakwood lodge has it on the south end of the lake. On the night we had 4 spots and 5 stripers with the biggest in the 20lb. range. Just becareful and use your GPS unit to navigate at night....
