Time frame for catching them is getting smaller by the week. I boated 9 stripers last night, most of them were alot bigger this week. Caught them all on a black/chrome deep diving rogue. Could not get the thunderstick bite rolling...My 2 buddies that went with me combined for 2 walleye and 5 stripers. I just kept the walleye this time as the stipers are too much work to clean...Shad didnt start coming up good untill about 3:30 and the bite was over at about 5:45. had one stiper that was 40 1/2 inches......Deep shale banks with alot of cuts.....
