Hey Bob,,buddy you been going too far from home to catch them stripers,,,fisheater and I have been killing them at the river. You and Elwood never did let me take you last yr. The size isn`t like cumberlands,,,well maybe ,,but the numbers is great and don`t cost a arm and a leg to go find them,,,plus the sauger as be out of this world,,,been eating high on the hog with them. But we`ve been getting alot of hybreds and stripes in the 4-10lb and in a 3 mph current they pull like a 30, but you`s catch 50-100 aday....and don`t have to look for them,,,and the warmwater discharges are starting to draw fish too,, i fish 1 the other night and caught over 50 stripes all small but had catfish,skipjack and even got 3 smallies up to 3 lbs,,,a buffet..LOL, but the bigger ones will be moving in when the water gets colder..
