Subject: Striper fishing? Author: shilohred Author Host/IP: 72-161-65-159.dyn.centurytel.net/ 72.161.65.159 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:52:04 05/21/06 Sun Who likes to fish for striper's? I for one like them. Man they fight like crazy. And are good eating. Anyone have a good way to rig up to fish for them? I plan on trying them using planner boards soon. I believe it will work great here . And catch some of the big ones that no one ever catch. I know for a fact there is some big ones in the Tn River here below Pickwick. AS around 1975 we caught a 17 lb and a 19 lb back then. so you know there is some big ones here. Pete [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

The only way I have ever fished for them is when they running and casting to where they are breaking the water chasing shad.

That is to fish live bait on or near bottom in the boils. Works great. But always looking for better ways. I plan on trying planer boards soon. Run a 8" skipjack out along the edge of treetops in the water. Pete

WE caught a 17 and 19 lb back in 1975. So you know theres some giants here now. Just need to figure out how to striper fish for the big ones. Not just at the dam for the 10 lb fish. I like the striper's when done right on the grill or smoker. There great. Pete
