I finally made it out on Sunday morning. I tried to put in at Foster, but the ramp was covered in about 6" of mud. I drove up to the dam and bank fished for about 1.5 hours. The only thing I caught was skipjacks. I didn't see anyone catch any stripers, hybrids, white bass. It looked like all the gates were half open. I didn't see one boat on the water below the dam, which is not a good sign. The water was still up a little and still muddy.

I fished below McAlpine again this weekend for a few hours on Sunday afternoon. Tried rattletraps, white jigs, casting spoons, and live shad. I fished around the rocks for a while and only caught one skipjack. Then I went and caught a bunch of shad, mostly 4"-5" and some 8"-10", and tried live bait around the lock. Managed to catch one ~8lb flathead and that was it.
Does anyone use live bait below the dam for stripers? If so, what is your technique?
