Best way to catch walleye and striper on cr

[dcb047]

[FONT=Times New Roman][/FONT]Just interested on everyone’s thoughts on fishing CR for these fish. Is it best to use shad or artificial baits?

I have tried pulling boards with shad without any weight. Any good tips, I am determined to get into striper and walleye on that river.

Right now the best thing to do is to go up to the boils and cast doll fly jigs in 1/2 oz. white with a shad body or 4 inch curl tail. you might also try to jig a 3/4 oz. hopkins spoon in the boils as you drift back, then run back up to the boils and drift again. you can also cast shad into the boils and hang on . dave

My experiance on the cr is that there is no ohe sure fire lure or technic. Walleyes on the cumberland are all up and down the river. I concentrate on the pools downstream. I'm not a troller guy, have drug a few baits while drifting in the current with success, but bait is not my style. My small jon boat tells me to stay out of the boils and I have had very successful trips for wallleye from ksndal down. Crankbaits and jigs are my best bets, It all depends on the flow. When the river is packed with boats you know their there.
