lake cumberland stripers

[thunderstorm]

Lesson learned while striper fishing this week:

Buy a net according to the biggest striper you HOPE to catch, not what you usually catch.

Mon and Tues night...got mostly walleye w/ a couple of stripers. All after 2 AM on Long A bombers at the mouth of creeks.

Going this Sat. night for first time of the year.. Are the Thundersticks deep divers, jointed, or suspending? I have never used them and need to know what to look for when I pick up a few.. Thanks..

I am heading to Cumberland this weekend and am going to try striper fishing for only the second time.

I am putting in near the state dock.

I have bought some redfins and have bomber long A's.

Any advice on how to catch alewives? Where to fish? I am willing to fish all night if need be.

Ned, What time did the shad come up? Also how late did you fish. Ive got a couple of them baits, can't wait to get down there. Did you get a truck or are you borrowing one?
