when is the big striper time start

[polock]

when should you start to really get after them?

polock,

The timing for Stripers has many variables including weather, water, spawning time, etc.

How about an idea of the region you usually fish or the specific fishery you want to fish and I'll do my best to help?

Also, how far you are willing to travel to hunt Stripers and what type of boat, if any, you own (makes a big difference on access in most fisheries)?

upper Bulls Shoals, powersite toi beaver creek, i have plenty of 4-8" plastic swimbaits, large muskie inline bucktail spinners, Red fins, Poppers, "Zara Spook" style topwaters, and #9 rapalas. fished with a 7' "lite" med action ugly stick, baitcast with 20# braid and mono leader, and then a 7' intercostal series uglystick with a calcutta 300 with 30# braid and flourocarbon leader...

if you were to fish this area tomorrow, with all this water coming over the dam and the lake level up about 3-4ft. where would start to hunt for stripers?
