What do you do when your wife is away for the weekend . . . ::)
— Stripers [s:2kipxj5s]Strippers[/s:2kipxj5s] —
I hit Lake Lanier today with Henry Cowen http://www.henrycowenflyfishing.com/Henry_Cowen/welcome.html for some Striper fishing. My wife is out of town for a few days and told me to go fishing and relax. We started out at 5 am and fished the docks. There were some hogs hanging out at the docks but no strikes. Just after day break was when the fun began. Although the top water bait crashing was minimal, there was a blessed window of opportunity, and the rest is just a fish tail. Later in the morning it was blind casting with a few spotted bass. Overall great day! My wife can leave me alone anytime she wants, hahahaha!

Obligatory Food Shot (Steak on the Green Egg) – Yum!
It was likely 13-14 lbs. Unfortunately, the lake dropped a full 3 degrees this past week after the rain, so the top water sight fishing was very sparse. I was lucky to make a good cast to this fish just as he busted up on some bait. Otherwise, just blind casting stuff.
BTW, Henry says hi and tells me you are a horrible caster ;D
Henry’s such a nice guy we made him an honorary Southerner . . . as long as he doesn’t speak.
He can’t help it, but once he starts talking, all that Yankee accent just comes out. Give him another couple of decades, and we’ll be able to passably understand him.

Love the intensity of the look if the photos Neal! Nothing like some good fish rage to make things right again!
