Has anybody been out chasing stripers lately? I've wade fished the LIR for trout but I've never had my boat over there. How navigable is the river with no generation? Best ramp to use?

Striper are biting good as of two weeks ago. I took my dad and son out on a trip and guided them around. We found shad down towards the mouth of the river. We fished with 2 generators flowing.  I wouldn't even bother fishing with no generation, unless you fish early morning with a kayak. Can't really get around much in a boat unless you fish from Gore landing and down. Also the bite is really tough. The stripers love it when the generators are on. I've noticed a few guys doing well on big articulated streamers.  Shad or rainbow colored.  I run a Shawnee trout boat with a short shaft Evinrude. Put in at Gore landing. I'm able to run all over the river no problem with two generators, but with one I gotta take it easy in a few areas. Good luck.
