Stripers On Fire!!

Man what a time we had yesterday. I got a call from my best fishing buddy yesterday, "Wanna go hit some stripers"?? I looked outside & noticed that the overcast that was looming overhead all day had turned into a fog and replied "Heck yea". We decided to take a gamble and go down to a hydro cooled power plant with a U shaped canal where the water goes in and comes out 10-15 degrees warmer. Its perfectly legal to fish the side of the bridge that faces the bay, but not the side facing the powerplant, and guess which side the ALL the BIG fish are on! So we crept under the bridge to the other side and started launching our topwater chuggers up & across the canal, we both landed fish on our second casts. After that it was fish on almost every other cast! My third Striper had to be at least 25lbs, his first was over 30. One fish slammed his popper so hard that it came off the 50lb leader like it was tied to a piece of thread. About 30-40 minutes and over 15 fish later the security gaurd came and asked us politely to leave. I think the fact that he was holding an M16 helped lol! My arms and legs feel like Jello, but either way it was worthit.
