Stripers And Whites

[Sore Thumbs]

Fyi. Found a school in North Clifty area. Last big creek to the right. They were in the back of creek. Huge whites. Caught one that was at least 4lbs. Unfortunately I was fishing bass tourney and couldn't stay.

Well that cat is out of the bag. Lol

I didn't know.

And can't go.

That sucks cause I'd be on them if I could.

I need to make a pot of striper gumbo with all of this cold weather.

And at 4lbs those were most likely hybrids. They have a double tounge patch. Like stripers do. Whites have a single tounge patch.

Catch one 4lb hybrid and it's as mean as a 4lb smallmouth.

[Sore Thumbs]

The stripes were not broken up. Pretty sure it was a white.

[J-Doc]

Yeah I've seen some of those with split tounge patches. Most are broken lines like you say.

Still.....

Theyre still some hard fighting fish!! :-)

A-rig? (Man I hate that thing. Lost one Sunday and opened up a split ring trying to retrieve it)

Jerkbait. My buddy caught a striper on a big spinner bait.

4-pound whites are not uncommon in Beaver nor Table Rock. Donna and I have caught them from both lakes.

Very thoughtful of you to put that info and specific location out there, Thumbs. Hope someone finds them and has a ball.

Jason off topic but how you holding up brother?

[Sore Thumbs]

Good to go sir. His time was up and I'm at peace with it. He was almost 91 years old. I hope I live that long. He was a great man and I will miss him.

Champ. Most people here are gracious enough to give out good information. I figured on the rare occasion that I can contribute, I'm gonna do it. Just sucks that the one time I'm in the middle of a huge school is during a tournament. I didn't do worth a crap. In hindsight I should have stayed and wacked on those instead.
