I fished a couple small creek coves from shore after fixing clients computer for couple hrs, didnt have my boat .. just tossing jerk bait. shad were being hearded into the coves by a mix of smallies, largemouth and stripers, have never seen so many shad or fish in one area b4, most were just a tad to far off shore to reach, could see and hear ka-boom of the stripers as they busted shad, and same with the bass just smaller splashes. I did manage to catch 6 of them biggest was largemouth about 6-7 lbs guestimate most were mixed bag smallie and largemouth 14-16 inches. I did hook one of the stripers, hook is the word... never saw it other than one roll on the surface.. was very large... good 30 lbs, just peeled off my line and never stopped. I was soo bumed.. damn near cried emoBang

Wow, that sounds like a blast, litterally.

You tie into a 30lber. and you better hold on. It is tough to get them turned around from shore unless you are prepared. Sounds like a lot of fun!
