Came up to fish stripers last week on Cherokee. The bait had shut down due to the water temp in the coves. It was all deep. We had some shad brought up from SC but it did not like the low twenties at night. We did catch some fish pulling plugs up the river but it was not too active. Can't wait to get back up there but will probably come earlier next year.

Yank, thanks for your input. It helped us.
