Been having some pretty good luck where I regularly fish. Limited out two days in a row. Averaging around 12#

Cowroy, nice catch ! Looks like you have their pattern nailed down . What lake are you fishing ? I fish Smith Mountain and Claytor Lake in VA for stripers from time to time .
Nice fish! We used to fish Lake Cumberland a lot growing up in KY. My favorite summertime bite was night fishing big topwaters along submerged structure and hearing the blowup of a 20lb fish on your redfin before you could ever feel the line get tight. That rush will never get old. I'll make it back one of these days.
Fishing Cherokee Lake. The bite didn't pick up last night till about 9:00, and then it was fast and furious.

that was his first striper. it is a thrill to fight those fish in less than 3 ft of water but it just don't seem right using the trout for bait. i have heard of several 40+lb fish caught recently. and a couple over 50.Quote:

Sounds good to me! I'll send ya a message with my number.
Good striper thread,
Never tried to ketch one, but always wanted to. Always thought that their tail looks exactly like a steelhead's.
They are very handsome fish.
Get this, I get a call today saying I need to stop posting pics of dead fish on Facebook like the ones I posted here. This is supposedly coming from some guys in the local striper club that I am a member of. I am gonna call the source myself because there are a lot of guides that throw fish back and kill them in my area. It seems to be okay to catch, release, and kill 30 fish in a day, but not okay to catch my two fish limit and GO HOME! We only catch the limit of how ever many people are in the boat and leave no matter how good the bite is. The hypocrisy of it makes me sick at my stomach.
Some of the same people who frown upon keeping and occasional bull red will belly buster release one from 20' and expect them to survive. Keep what you eat and release the rest unharmed.
