Planning on heading down to the lake this weekend and was curious if anyone has had any luck with the stripers lately. I'm somewhat new to fishing for striper and looking for any advice. We'll probably start in the back of the creeks and pull planers.
I was curious how this crazy cold weather affects the fishing. I just called down at Bass Pro and they have no bait, so hopefully we can catch some down there. Thanks for any tips.
You won't have any problem catching bait. There is no reason to buy shiners this time of year if you have a cast net. At the head of most any creeks they are stacked full of bait you can catch as many as you want in shallow water any time of day. Most normally productive creeks mid lake is holding fish close to where bait is stacked up. Go early, catch your bait and pull boards as you said and you should do good if you find a school of fish. There is so much bait though its hard to mark schools of fish, so watch closely and don't confuse huge bait schools for schools of striper.
Good luck!
Thanks for the info Justin! I should have included in my original post that we will be fishing out of Jamestown. I appreciate all that have responded by PM or otherwise. Any additional tips or advice are appreciated!
Thanks again
Hey neck I sent you a pm.
Any thoughts on when the night bite will start on slivers and topwaters? Guessing it depends on shad moving up?
