{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Good/Different day at fletchers

Looks like a great day. To add on to the theme of aggressive, shallow
shad -- on Friday, a guy fishing near me who was casting a 3"-4"
shallow running silver crankbait for stripers caught a big hickory
(~17") on it. And it was definitely fair caught - rear treble was way
down in its mouth. I caught one like that several years ago near
Roosevelt Island on a Rat'l'trap. Sometimes they get darn
aggressive. Awesome.
