Planning a trip to Cherokee sometime in March. looking to get on a striper bite, how far up river should I go? or do I even need to go up stream? The farthest I have been is Melinda Bridge. I wouldn't turn down any LM, SM, Spotted Bass tips either...Thanks.
Dont know about the stripes, but a rogue/pointer in clear water and a wigglewart/norman in stained water will load the boat with LM/SM. I have never had much luck with Ky's in Cherokee. Be very careful of the river channel and stay in it. Cherokee is very unforgiving when it comes to lower units! This is especially important down the lake.
