Oct 24-25 striper

[Dan the fisherman]

Striper continue to  cooperate this week.  I’ve been finding them on points mostly .  I’ve looked on channel swings but haven’t seen much action on them.  They’re definitely schooling up now.  I went threw a huge school of them yesterday, had all four lines go down at once. Two popped off before I could get to them and one got cut off when it rubbed against another line.  I only managed to boat one.   Wednesday I got a couple also.  Those weren’t schooling fish, they were lone wolf stripers.  Fish are still deep though.  30 to 40 FOW.  Still waiting on surface action though.  Water temps were 65-64.  Here’s a pic from yesterday. I took him home the ones from the day before were released.

Dan, that is a great fish. Are you still using gizzards (shad)?

[Dan the fisherman]

Yesterday I was using a mix.  2 brooders , 2 shad.   I was interested in seeing which got hit and adjust but they ended up all getting chomped

Good stuff!  Glad to see a report.  Taking off work next week.  See you on the water...
