Where Are The Stripers At?

J-Doc when are you going fishing again? The flicker shad will run 10-13 feet deep, right?

[Feathers and Fins]

140ft back on 10lb seagar floro at 2.5 mph

#6 will run 14 to 16

#7 will run 14 to 18

#8 will run 16 to 20

#9 will run 18 to 22

Each boat is a little different but that's what I have found for that speed and that line

If J-Doc is around just troll right next to him and smile as you reel them in

Hahaha......... You're a real funny man aren't ya.

My boat will be dry for quite a while. Christmas gatherings coming up, wrapping up some minor boat projects, etc. Trying to get ready for February crappie!!

How big are the crappie in beaver? I can remember catching 3 lb crappie in Texas years ago with my dad. He called them barn door crappie. Where is the best place to catch crappie in beaver? Are you using minnows?

[Feathers and Fins]

Keeper size is 10'' legal. I try not to keep anything under 12'' and there are many in the 14 to 16'' range my best last year was 19'' but have caught 20'' fish.

As to where they are its a lot of trolling time. I try to locate at least 5 spots in a 1 mile run and then continually troll over them using flicker shad. The high speed method gets the active biters and typically the bigger fish, there is also that neat little bad habit of walleye to like hanging out with them so the bonus fish is always possible. The negative is the small Kentucks like hanging out in the same area.

The best crappie zone is from 12 bridge to Hickory Creek yes its a lot of area to look in but that is why I troll for them. The further up river you get the more likely you will run in to whites, hybrids and stripers also.

Wow that is indeed some nice crappie.and the flicker shad is a powerful bait in this lake, isn't it?

[J-Doc]

I've seen his boat. Man has more Flicker Shad than sense.
