Leaving Cottonwood heading down-lake . . . that was the sunrise last Thurs. looking east.@Desert Whaler no way that’s lake mochoppy
Where about is that? Cotton or Katherine’s?
Yeah, it was actually pretty good . . . caught some largemouth to about 4 lbs. . . . but the boiling stripers stole the show eating the topwater lures . . . fun watching them explode on your lure. Pops said the morning after we got back, "So when we going back"? LOL@Desert Whaler catch anythin?
@Desert Whaler i have no idea what the boiling comment means
Probably about time to winterize it, temps have fallen below 80 degrees.

Surprisingly warm, far from uncomfortable, saw a few folks swimming at the beach on the south end of the islandThe temps the last couple of days have been so nice. Being able to have the house open and no A/C running. What’s the water temp like?
A few more posts like this, and it really Will suck.
You remember getting in a fight back in the day? Fight club does not talk about fight club.

Its fun, big enough yet small enough to use solo. Needs some more power though, it maxes out right in the middle of the daytona hop around 70, cant get through it, thinking pro charger this winter.Are you loving your new ride? Looks great!
Sounds great. Were the striper boils above or below Cottonwood? What size fish?Yeah, it was actually pretty good . . . caught some largemouth to about 4 lbs. . . . but the boiling stripers stole the show eating the topwater lures . . . fun watching them explode on your lure.

The 'Volume' of fish we saw were below cottonwood. I think we were a week too early . . . they'd come up boiling one's & two's . . . I'd sneak up on them by shutting down 200-300 yards away and throw spooks/ sammy's etc. . . . they'd slap at them but not commit. I'd switch to a Lucky Craft 112 MR in 'ghost minnow' and bomb it out on 12# fluro to get bit. The fish averaged 4-6 lbs. but I saw several in that 8-10 lb. range following a hooked fish, or just cruising.Sounds great. Were the striper boils above or below Cottonwood? What size fish?
Thanks for the detailed report. That’s some outstanding fishing and 4-6 lbs is a perfect catching size. When the terns hover and pick over the boiling fish it helps finding them. Doing all this with your Dad makes it even better. Enjoy!The 'Volume' of fish we saw were below cottonwood. I think we were a week too early . . . they'd come up boiling one's & two's . . .

The day prior we took a scenic trip up to Willow Beach in the am . . . we saw a wolf-pack of fish that had pushed a school of shad into a small cove on the AZ side (this was just below the 1st set of powerlines) . . . they were going bonkers right along the shade-line of the bluff . . . it was every 3rd cast or so till the sun crept over the bluff then they sunk-out.
All the fish were jugged with quarter-sized shad when we cleaned them.
I'm chomping to get back out there . . . 'm bringing binoculars next time to hopefully spot the breaking fish from further away.
