Thanks for the information. I am still learning to striper fish. I have a white Javelin fishing boat with a Johnson 175. I usually fish the Lilly, WOlfe and Caney Creek area. For the most part I usually buy my shinners from the basspro shop in Jamestown. Good luck fishing. I haven't had any luck fishing the last few times==mostly around WOlfe Creek lately around Alg. 2.
