Well wiseguy I thought he might be going after wallies.

Lol!!! I know. I was teasing. I couldn't resist bud. :-)

Follow up question - when fishing the points how do you break it down? Run parallel with them, cross them? I read something the other day that made some good sense. They said that stripers will hang off to the edge of the long points and ambush the bait that comes straight up on top of the points.

Blackened striper - have not tried that yet. Got a recipe to share?

Hey, I know what your mug looks like....I'll find you....

Lol!! I can't hide anywhere.....

Yes, I posted a recipe and one for striper gumbo too.

Run the tips of them that is where the fish seem to have been holding, for stripers ( I to was wondering if you were after them or walleye ) I would plot out a course the holds you near the channel edges of the old white river in the 3o to 50ft range keeping bait in the 30 range....

mmmmmmm....walleye - yes, that is my preferred species for sure, but not at the moment.

I really want to get a handle on this striper fishing even if its only to the degree of catching just one or two each trip. I am not looking for a boat load each time I go out, just a few. Reason being is that I have family and friends I want to take out, who do not get out fishing much on a boat, and want to put them in touch with the other end of most likely the biggest fish of their lives. I know it was done for me and those are the times I never forget.

I have taken these guys out walleye fishing and while they are still excited, and do like the taste of the catch, its just not the same as catching a good stripe. In fact, the last time I took a guy out and we caught some walleye I had to convince him there was a fish on the other end of the line. He kept on telling me he couldn't feel one and I would take the rod for a moment and tell him that there was one still on. Funny stuff.

I think I have a few points targeted that are near the channel. I think I'll just hit them and spend a little bit of time working each one over. I'll look for them, then move on. If I find a school I should see quite a bit of arches on the sonar right? That's what I have seen in videos at least. I have seen it before fishing but only once or twice last year. Most of the time when I see a bunch of arches stacked together its whites.

If I was going out tonight I would use this pattern.

I would troll 6 Inch swim baits ( unless I had live bait )

[nathanhooper]

hmmmm...ok, I have a lot more to learn than I thought I guess. Other than two of those areas, maybe 3, I would not consider those points up the creek to be long points? Or is this just what your saying you would do, not necessarily sticking just to long points? I will take this under advisement and mull it over with the captain.

I was thinking something like this. I like your idea though. I like sticking to indian creek area. Just past 4 corners is where I caught that big one last year on the friends boat.

I have seen some fish on the graph the few times I went over by starky around the humps. I was thinking that maybe, since they plan on generating between 4 and 6 this evening it might draw some good current of the main channel and bring it up over some of those humps. But then again, I could be way over thinking this.

Have u ever dropped a camera and took a look by the buoy in front of water intake?.....there is some rocking horse's there, I wonder if they have been there since lake filled up or if some one put them there?

[Feathers and Fins]

My map is purely off experience this time of year and there is a lot of points I would come across.
