Stripers

This last weekend caught and saw fish caught 70' and below on live bait and down rigging from and Including Indian Creek to the dam.

I "think" there is an oxygen problem from about 25' down to 70' which will kill your bait if you are in that range. The old canary in the coal mine test. I ran out of canaries about noon Sunday.

I've used Yellow-Birds, but never canaries. Where do you get them?

Thanks for all the replies... my was down there for the weekend and didn't do any good. He graphed fish on the main lake from Beaver on down towards the dam. He tried planer boards around 25 to 40 feet and then switched to down lines about 55 feet deep with no success. His shiners would die immediately.

We are going down around the first weekend of November or last weekend of October.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO GET THE FISH IN THE JUMPS?? I have been going down to cumberland since the early 90's for these stripers, but have never experienced the jumps.

continuing my like of thought...I guess at the ..."Company Store"
