Thank for the info Samkam1 and zarraspook. We live in Nixa and Beaver is just to close to not make a couple trips down a year to give them a try.
Ventris seems like a good midpoint in the lake to try. Last year we made it down to Starkey, caught lots of fish but no stripers. The nine year old enjoys fishing aslong as he is busy, doesnt matter wether he is catching them or not.
Has anyone had any luck this year with the stipers.
