The Boulder basin is blowong up in striped bass boils right now. If you havent seen it picture a nice calm lake with boats patiently waiting for something in suspense. Then out of nowhere a hundred striped bass begin agressively feeding on the surface, bait fish junping outbof the air in desperation, and birds diving and swooping for a meal. When you see a fish feeding you toss your top-water bait on the action and make it dance. Within a second or two a healthy schoolie tosses your bait in the air to stun its prey and then they hit it hard! We’re pulling 15-30 fish on lures out here.

Early morning trolling and casting jerk baits is working upstream at Willow Beach. This is a tough fishery with record breaking stripers, it doesnt always fish this good. I spent my birthday out there camping with my wife and landed 3 big stripers in the morning before breakfast, 7-10lbs each
