Weekend Report from the Kingfisher HICKORY SHAD ARE IN!!!!! Capt. Mark nad the Bierut group were looking to do some light tackle fishing and they were treated to some bonus action. The light tackle took place catching Hickory Shad and the bonus was a 46" Striper. Several other fish in the 32" to 46" inch range were also caught. Saturday ended with a bang! In the form of lightning but the 4 hours of fishing before that was red hot for the Montgomery group. After getting bait fairly quickly we headed out to the reefs and hit fish on every drift until the downpores and lightning forced us in. Total was 7 nice fat Stripers from 34" to 44". Sunday was unusually open so Capt. Mark brought out his son and a friend for some of the same and Christopher yet again surpassed his personal best with a 45" lunker. The Stripers are here in very good numbers and sizes. With the Hickory Shad showing up I only expect the fishing to break out like gangbusters. Will see how many 50+ lb. fish come over the side this year. Last season we saw three customers bring aboard their 50+ fish, so I expect a few more this year.
