Lance34 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Got out mid day yesterday. Dragged flicker shads down the white on the edge of flats around the river channel looking for big slabs. Boated 5 small crappie between 11-13 inches, a couple of whites, and scratching my head on this one.... Caught a striper? lol He was a peanut, but tons of fun on a 8ft crappie trolling rod. Pulled size 7 pearl, white/chartreuse, chrome/black back, fire tiger, and orange tiger. Once I got to clearer water the bite started to picked up some but not much. Man was it hot! Have a good one out there. God Bless Dan the fisherman, BilletHead and Blll 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stump bumper Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I think the secret to striper fishing is down sizing, you get more on 1inch baits than I do on 8inch baits. Lance34 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Haynes Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I was thinking of going by the dam in the morning. You think there might be a striper top water bite left? Is it better to put in at Lost Bridge South or North? I may wait until Monday morning to avoid boats, what time does the boat traffic get crazy on that end of lake? It's been years since I fished the big end of the lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bferg Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Stripers love the flicker shads- even big stripers eat them. There are always a few on the upper part of the lake and trolling a shad is a sure way to find them. That's some fun on the crappie rod I'm sure.

It's been years since I fished the big end of the lake. My neighbor was up on that end yesterday, he says there is still a bit of a top water bite, but it appears to be tailing off. They caught 2 stripers yesterday. It's an early bite and doesn't last long. As far as boat traffic, it will get crazy later in the morning, usually starting about 10-11 AM. LB South is a more sheltered ramp, LB North is exposed to the main lake wakes and wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Haynes Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 Thanks, ended up with 4 grandkids coming over last night so no energy to get up early. Im gonna try late this evening or early tomorrow morning. Hoping the rain today will send pleasure boaters home and lake won't be bad this evening. Thanks for advise.
