I started fishing Cherokee for Stripers two years after Dave Bishop started the Striper program . I have caught Striper up to 30lbs. I spoke to Warren Turner and Ezell Coxs about what is going on on Cherokee . I reported at the end of the this summer a fish Kill in Mossey Creek . They were good size fish some in the 20 lb. class . Never heard any more about it from TWRA. As for the Hybrids I'm still catching a few. AS for White Bass I have not caught one in years . THere is another thing that went on this year which did not help the Striper population and may have added to the Striper Kill . The airators were turned off near the end of the HOT summer . I just heard this don't know if true . Supposedly by TVA. I thought TWRA was in charge them . THere was article in the local paper(by TWRA) that the fishing on Cherokee would improve next year because the lake was so low ... plants would grow on the lake bottom that was exposed. The new study shows that the Stripers ,Hybrids have WORMS , this the same thing that happened on Norris . Catch a BIG ONE HO! HO! YANK
