Conditions : LAKE PLEASANT: Lake elevation 1,674 feet (70% full). Anglers are finding shad boils and catching bass and stripers in the northern coves and in main lake coves and shoreline. Skinny dippers, topwater shad imitators and clear Zara Puppies are always good lures to use. The fish tend to be small but there are a few big ones in there.

Patience Try drop shot in the mornings and get it down to 20 feet quickly before the little ones nab it. At night use the lights and again get your anchovies down fast to get the attention of the bigger ones lurking down there.

Just a heads up, I have heard reports there is a person out there on the water without their nav lights so beware. That is extremely dangerous

With a full moon this week, a good night time fishing technique is to use your fish finder to locate possible schools of stripers, and then chum. A new inland state record striper was caught a couple of weeks ago (see picture above). We are rountinely getting reports of larger stripers being caught at Pleasant, so be sure to have new line on your reels.
