    Evansville area stripers

    Was wondering if anyone has any information on the striper situation in the Evansville Newburgh area. Been fishing the Wabash my whole life and would like to have a go on the Ohio

    Been tough the last few years. Same with finding decent sized schools of shad. I talk to many of the fisherman and have heard the same thing. Possible there is correlation between the two.

    I'd start out with decent size swimbaits along the wall , sometimes I will weigh down to get a better depth quick. Many of the guys who told me tips/tricks always said the bigger ones sit below the smaller ones, hitting scraps. They sure seem to be right as I have caught a handful of decent ones on cut-bait while catfishing.

    You can find them Anywhere near the concrete, in the big eddy on the end of the gates and there is another large flat/hole at the beginning of the locks. You can see the strange water when you get into the area, being a river guy, you should notice the boiling water quite easy.


    I haven't been out this year, yet. Soon.
