Cumberland Stripers

[mhall]

Are the strippers still hitting top water baits at night or is that over now?

Pretty well over, if it ever really got started this year, lol. You can just about Bank on a May flood anymore, I think three years in a row now, it's put the Kabosh on the good night bite in my humble opinion.

I bet you could pick up one or two with a crankbait. I don't know this personally because I never fish for stripers in the summer, but I've been told that you might be able to get a couple at night with deep divers.

I was planning on booking a trip with a fellow Cornhusker Clayton Oxford of hollarwoodguide.com, but I'm not totally comfortable with him from email exchanges. Has anyone gone out with him or can somebody reccomend a guide service.

Clayton is a very good Striper fisherman and works very hard for his clients. Please send me a PM about you're concerns.

Clayton is one of the best bottom fishing guides there is. He'll troll if he can't get em bottom fishing. When are you looking to book him? If its a little later in the year, he'll be mixed right in the same areas as any of the other great guides that are out there.

Clayton can put you on the fish. Also, if you don't want the catch 2 and quit you may have better luck with him because you can pick up all kinds of nice "incidentals" bottom fishing like walleye, black bass, crappie, cats, etc. He fishes out of a very roomy and comfortable boat too.

I was down at lake on 6/4, 6/5/, and 6/6. Fishing was very good, easy catching bait and they seem to stay alive on the hook. I did not fish on 6/5 because of the kids trout derby, but the other two days were excellent. I only caught one fish at 12 feet and the rest came at 25 feet. I wasfishing around the mouth of Beaver in 90 to 100 feet of water.

thanks Mhall for the update report.

How Do you catch your bait? Do you use a light at night and cast net them or do you just troll around cast netting

[gizzard shad]

I typically find shallow water (60 feet) next to the river channel or creek channel and throw out a light and wait about hour or so.

What time of the night do you do this?

Do you fish for anything while waiting in order to pass the time?

Thanks.
