Stripers ??

[Codywskeeter1521]

Hello, Norfork fishermen and women. 

 Me and my wife are coming down this weekend to try our luck at some stripers. I'm not looking for spots or anything just general locations. River Channel swings ect. I plan on using some live bait and some spoons. But I'm open to anything. We will be staying at blue haven resort and launching out of buzzard roost Marina. I'm also wondering water temp and if there's a termacline set up or not. 

  We we're down a couple months ago and took a guided trip with binks. But I don't expect the same kind of locations and areas to work. 

 Thank you guys for any info and your time 

Ps. If your down and see a red zx20 skeeter probably fishing the wrong water don't hesitate to come on by and say HI. 😂😂

I’m strictly repeating second hand reports but it appears dropping live bait down to them over deep flats might be a solid option.

Awesome thank you for the info. I'll definitely graph some flats.

I fished a few days 2 weeks ago. I caught stripers from Point 2 to Point 1. The fishing seems to be hit and miss and the bite doesn't last long. I think you can do good if you have several rods in the water when the stripers start feeding. This is a good advantage for live bait.  I was on the water by 5:00 am. The best color for me was blue and white.

 Thank you guys for your help this weekend. Me and my wife had a absolute blast. It was definitely tough fishing for us. But blue haven resort was absolutely beautiful and Brian was a stand up guy. Now to fishing we had a tough time finding them. But after about 10 hours of graphing and spot fishing I did manage to catch this one on a binks spoon. He was in 70 foot of water and tight to the bottom not bad for a ol table rock bass fishermen 😂😂🤪. It was on a flat next to a creek channel right at the mouth of big creek. Went back this morning and they were stacked again but only managed a small one before I had to head back home. I must say your guys lake is awesome and we will be back. Hoping to time it up better in August.

 Thank you again
