Hey all you saltys. I know that I am a few thousand miles from the nearest coastline especially for Stripers, but. My friends dad has a 5 acre pond and its stalked with Stripers. Im not talking small ones either, Im talking 5,6,7-10lbers (to me thats big). I managed to hook into one that was 5-6lbs when finally brought to hand. Guess what color of fly? A Chartruese #6 Drop Nose Minnow. I think the best part was the take very vicious. Not to mention all of the other ones that took my flies and hung them on their walls for a good laugh.

I see why that could be addicting not to mention standing waist high in the ocean on a crisp morning. Now if I can only imagine hooking into one that spends most of his time at sea. One day maybe it will happen with out having to imagine. Just thought that I would share.
