how is the best way to differentiate a striper hit and a bass hitting the top of the water. I know that during the spring, when the stripers are hitting top, it sounds like someone dropping a 10 pound dumbbell in the water, is this also the case in the fall?

It should be the same. You can definetly tell the difference between stripers and other fish. A lot more violent. If you use a wieghtless Fluke or a Scrounger head with a Fluke on it and throw it in around those Stipers I guarantee you they will hit it.

I think you just described it. If it were white bass, there are typically a lot of bites close together. Eventually a school will surface and the bites are not that large. Even with good sized whites, the bites are no where near bowling ball quality.

I heard the whites were south of the 12 bridge. With this cold front, that might turn them on in a few days but it won't be the big push. Still a bit early.

Saw a lot of guys fishing for them around Prarire Creek Marina area this week. Not sure if they're catching anything. Shad are schooling big time in front of cove mouths in that area. Caught a few whites on spoons in that area, but I didn't fish for them real hard.

Beautiful time to be on the lake with the leafs changing.

Plenty of fish and shad in the Ventris, Coose, and PC areas...fishing was a bit tough. Did get my biggest yet, 26lbs 42".

Caught 7 total stripes over the weekend...and about a dozen each white and black bass. Beautiful time to be on the lake!!!
