Thanks BaySport. I'm telling you need to go to the Temple Basin more...just to spice things up. Maybe an overnight trip? I know you may not be interested in the houseboats, however, Temple Bar Marina does have fishermen cabins for $40 a night. I know you love to fish at 4 - 5 a.m. so just get the cabin in the afternoon, and head out early. There is hardly any boat pressure out there since it's out of the way. Unfortunately, I don't know of any live bait/shad in the area. Then again, I don't look around the shorelines early in the morning. I've seen some tadpole size shad but they're not going to do much for you. I've heard all sorts of rattle traps, trout lures, and crank baits do well in deeper waters. Unfortunately, I'm not that skilled when it comes to fishing with artificial baits at deeper depths but you may have better luck than me. There are a couple coves where the water is pretty deep...and where legend has it that larger stripers roam about there.
Anyway, give it some thought and please let me know if you're interested in trying it out. I think I should just purchase a houseboat (used of course), and moor it there. All these houseboat trips are starting to add up so it just might make sense for me.
Best regards,
Paul
