We spent this morning working our way around the bank while it was calm, till we found a decent spot to pick apart once the lake woke up. Had a couple bites but only landed one. Started out pretty overcast, but the sun was shining within a few hours of being out, water was clear.

Two days at Lake Raystown. Couldn’t find the striper but got into some smallies… also lost a 20 pound musky with a faulty net!

Fish were holding on the steep bluff walls in their summer pattern and drop shot was the key. Had multiple big largemouth and smallmouth eat it on the fall. The Daiwa Rebellion 7-0ML is a fantastic drop shot rod with the perfect power and action for this technique.
