Any advice

[dantep]

Myself and couple buddies coming up in two weekends. Staying at a lodge by the ferry. Renting a pontoon boat. Any advice on where to fish and what method? Be on bikes, so will be catch and release. Troll or straight down? Stripers would be nice, but anything would be fun. Thanks for any help.

Striper fishing is a Norfolk thing. A few are up by the Power Site Dam.

i don’t fish the lake during tourist season. I would guess drop spotting on bluffs and fishing brush piles any and everywhere. 

Enjoy your stay!

Throw some flicker shads out behind the boat and troll them, You'll catch a little bit of everything

hope the pontoon has a fish finder, that makes it a lot easier to find shad because those fish hanging around them are hungry and easier to catch imo. . I like spooning a lot during the summer, 1/2, 3/4 or 1oz Size and rate of fall can matter at times. A spoon will catch about anything too.Trolling is a great idea especially with multiple persons and with multiple lures out you can find out quicker what the fish prefer as far as color and size. Read past reports posted here may help also.  good luck!

Might be going tomorrow morning , will post a report if it happens.
