Cumberland Stripers ?

[kstonich]

Anyone have any information on the striper fishing.

Managed to catch 1 about 10 lbs on shiners, another pulldown and that was it, fished thru the rain on main body creek arms. Not great but still better than sitting at home.

Thanks for the info. We hope to make it down soon. How deep did you catch the one?

40ft on down rod. It's stomach was full of 2" shad. I was planning on coming down this weekend instead I'm at the airport heading to Texas for 12 days. 3 more years till I retire then I get my life back. Post how you do.

Thanks. Enjoy the last 3 years of working and then enjoy retirement even more. I highly recommend it.

I retired in April and love the weekday fishing, was here this past Tuesday fishing up in West fork of Indian creek saw lots of bait and several fish busting the surface. Water temps were 56 on the main lake and 54 in the creek arm.

Dam end yesterday. 54F clear with 6 to 8 visibility. Windy no shad on top. Saw single striper jumps 1st hr of light off pts and in mouths of cuts left of Indian entrance. bait balls were 30 to 40 ft deep there. No striper jumps the rest of day spent in indian. bait balls 5 to 10 ft deep in back 25% of secondary creeks. never really graphed any stripers. Caveat I was mainly bass fishing. Used A rig quite a bit though.

Was there also and noted the same as you reported. Every cut I went in to had fish stacked top to bottom. Could not get them to hit .
