Emergency Regulations Lake Cumberland-Striper

[Duayne]

Strawberry little macs are still the lure to beat on night flats if you still have any. I happen to still have two. I won't throw them unless I absolutely have to. LOL

duayne, i saw a guy on ebay last year that could cast/mold any lure you have, hooks installled and painted, it was a little pricey, not unreasonable though when you want a special bait that has been discontinued though. i will see if i can find him again, if so i will send you the info

[Duayne]

Someone could clean up around Cumberland if they couldreproduce that bait! I'd ceraintly buy some. Yeah, let me know if you run across that guy again..

Ya know when you compare the lure design, this Deep Thuderstick has a lot in common with the Little Mac

One of my fishing partners uses them. Said that once he started using them he did not miss the little mac any more.

Kill em all!

Got a real reason for this, or is it the usual uneducated knee-jerk response that stripers are eating everything else in the lake? They are not.

This has been an on going problem for several years. Its hard for a guide to stop fishing after a coup-le of hours when he has an all day charter, and keeping a few dinks will not make customers happy. I saw what happens one year at the mouths of beaver and otter creeks in late summer, there were belly up stripes all over the place. We had closed seasons for years up north, and folks learned to live with them. Close the season on stripes from 8/1 to 10/1, and people will learn to live with it. It isn't only guides either, its guys who cull fish, like for example the trout on the lower cumberland river. Tenn. has pumps that put O2 back into the lake at Norris.I just stop fishing for them after july.

The stop fishing is probably the best ideal to save the fish PERIOD!!!!
