Patoka stripers??

[DSPCHAMY]

I troll for them at raccoon on occasion during the hot summer months. I use either dipsy divers or jet divers. Normally run four rods the outside have dipsys set to run away from the boat and the middle two run jet divers. If you are going to use the jets you can not use crankbaits with lips. they will flip the jet and it will come to the surface like it has a fish on it. I will troll cranks with the dipsy's. Live bait and swim baits (storm wildeye's) work well with the jet divers.

You can buy dipsy's and jets to get to all diffrent depths from about 10-30 feet. a lot cheaper than running downriggers.

Raccon has nice stripers with some over 30 pounds taken every year. I think two years ago one over 40 was taken. A lot are taken just east of the park ramp on the north side of the lake.

I know this is a little off thread but hope it helps.

Thanks for the tips. I may be able to use those for Patoka Lake or Bluegrass Pit someday.

DSPCHAMY,

If someone took a 40 lb striper out of Raccoon why is the state record 35 lbs and why was that fish taken out of the Ohio River???

Sounds like another fish story to me.

I would say someones scale wasnt working then. Didn't say I caught it, just what the picture said at the gas station across from the park ramp.
