I think the biggest factor this year is the water cooled off fast,last year when the water temp got below 60 degrees the fishing really slowed down for me,I tried slowing down to see if they would hit.but nothing,I did foul hook some shad this year,there about 2 1/2 inches long and where everywhere on the west side.one funny thing happened I didn't mention was I was trolling with the electric when bam I hit something the next thing I know there is a wiper tail dancing about three skips off the bow of the boat,hahaha,guess he was at the wrong place at the wrong time.I'm just glad to see that they are healthy and the shad are doing well,I didn't know if the poor water quality was going to have a negative affect on them,and man I know where some good structure is when the water comes back up,that section where the christmas trees are,thats where I would catch most my wipers while casting to the shore,now I know why.
I would like to be involved in a powell striper trip,I have caught them,when they are boiling,we used go down every year in the fall for a week,there is nothing like seeing a biol the size of a football field,pop up out of know where,I gave a guy one of the modified prism shads and he said it caught him a bunch of stripers when he went down.just thought I would let ya know.
