Yes, I fish the river from Markland dam down to Louisville. I have been finding Stripers the same way you are. I fish for Skipjack at the mouth of creeks and quarries. The Skips push minnows onto sand and gravel bars and feed on them. I use a Sabiki rig for Skips and I have been catching small Stripers and Hybrids in the mix. When I find them I switch up to a large rooster tail or a crank bait. It can be a lot of fun sometimes! I've not caught any big ones yet. and I fish early before the crowds get out on the river, on the weekends.
