tried on the rocks a couple of times, but only got catfish. Maybe I did not try hard enough.

The stripers are in there. Heard several shout outs of "Fish On" from people on the concrete ramp and saw poles bent over with big fish on. I managed to catch one of them - 9 pounds and 28" long along with 2 other shorter fish in the 20" range. I'll be heading back up there Monday.

I think I need a bigger cutting board - here is the 28" striper I caught Saturday morning.

I did a little better today, after losing a monster to someone snagging my line I landed this 26. Sort of a make up call! [Linked Image]

As someone who needed to upgrade to fish at the dam I went this route.
Fiblink Surf Spinning Fishing Rod... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0719D1RSH?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
KastKing Summer and Centron... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017TQTZ5I?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
And 30 lb braid with mono backing and leader.

All for about 100$ I can cast from wall to wall with a 2oz weight. So far so good.
