Top Water Stripers ?

[Stump bumper]

I have not seen much top water in the afternoons to dark at all, lately expcept for schools of bluegills. I lost a redfin to a big swrill around point 8 but I think it was a bad knot since it only took drag for 2 seconds before the lure was gone. Dang flourocarbon.

Are the stripers starting thier early moring feeding up around Rambo yet or are they further North?

Or maybe it's a midnight thing?

A couple of weeks ago they were in some of the coves in the dam area on top early, but I have not been back there since then. Might try it later this week if there's a calm morning.

Stump, I've been on some large schools on three different points near the mouth of Rambo, but havent seen many stripers eating them. Mostly swimmer spots. Thats all I've got.

PM sent.

I was headed out of the Prairie Creek/Sunset Bay cove to go down to Coos Thursday about 8am, and the whites were blowing up the water near the mouth. At least I assume they were whites as there were like 10-20 swirls at a time. I didn't stop to fish them as I'm not much of a white bass fisherperson. Have also seen a lot of big fish jumping action kind of mid-cove, main channel in Sunset Bay in the early mornings, too. But hard to say what they are. Carp, black bass, stripers, who knows?

Caught another 5+ lb largemouth Thursday morning. I've sure pulled more than my fair share of big black bass from Beaver so far this year. It's been fun.

I was all around them last night after dark around point 6 in about 100ft of water. New moon, clouds with a good wind and they were still busting top. I threw every thing I could think of, swimbaits, top water even a black jitterbug but no love. There wer a couple of striper gudes near by before the sun went down and I never saw a bent rod but could not see them after dark. I didn't here any yelling from the near by boats, left the lake at midnight.

Guess I need to get up early and get that sunrise bite on a new moon.

I was fishing the mouth of Ford's creek on Saturday morning and caught a Striper around 5 lbs. I was bass fishing and using a Zoom Super Fluke in Disco Violet color on a 7/0 EWG Superline hook. Only caught one striper so Im not sure if it was by itself or in a school. Lots of action there that morning. Caught LM,SM,KY and Striper in same spot.
