Shane Watson Guide Service Friday Report (10-08-09). Since last Sunday, the striper bite has been some of the best we’ve seen all year. We’ve been on huge schools of busting stripers both early morning and late afternoon most everyday this week. These busting fish have bit chrome and blue Sebile’s and freelined bluebacks very well.
When they have not been on top, downlined bluebacks fished 40-50 feet deep in the mouths of creeks where you are marking fish has also worked very well. This morning they did not come up for me and I covered most of the southend. We did however, do very well on my boat on downlined bluebacks.
Some of the schools that we have been on this week have been huge in size and have stayed up for an hour or so, when we’ve had a boat or two on them freelining and casting. Some of the schools have had many boats flying in on them and they have stayed up for 30 seconds at a time. Overall, it has been one of the best weeks of the year on the stripers. We’ve had great topwater, freelining, and downlining.
