Hey Mike,
Yeah, that pic definitely looks like it's from Mead. Either Calville Bay or Echo Bay. Those are some good size stripers. I know what you mean about the top water action. At night the top water action is excellent at Temple Bar. During Fall and Winter, we usually use 4 - 6 lb test to cast out a cut piece of anchovy with one ball bearing weight (for further reach). As soon as the anchovy hits the water, we start reeling in the line, within a second or two tops, we've got a striper on the line. They're not big fish but it's fun to catch a bunch.
I'm hoping my friends and I can get out to Temple Bar on December 26 for a 4 day houseboat trip. I just returned from an 8 day trip in October, and I'm already suffering from serious Mead "withdrawals." I'll let you know if we end up heading to Mead in the last week of December.
Best regards,
Paul
