Smith Creek/Lake Conoy(Point Lookout)from shore. 10-9-14

Started at St Indigoes and wind was mild out of the North. I started trolling and there was large schools of bait busting everywhere. Nothing underneath. I trolled in about 5-10ft and caught several stripers along drop-offs and points. I left after a sudden wind shift out of the south and headed to PLO. I decided not to put the Boat back in the water but instead fish Lake conoy from the shore which was protected from the wind.
I Caught a lot of spot to be salted later. I tied on a popping cork and caught several reds and specs walking through the weeds along the water line. They were small, but a lot of fun to catch. It was a great end to the day. The bigger ones are lurking close to shore on an incoming tide.

Great report. First I've heard of someone using the popping cork around here, looks like fun.
