Striper Report

[Phil S]

Does anyone have any kind of striper report? I know typically this time of year they migrate up the white and war eagle, but have not heard much lately. I’ve caught them by accident up there in years past trolling cranks looking for walleye, but think about targeting the stripers specifically this spring.

Any help or tips appreciated!

There's a few roaming around the Indian Creek area, I know someone that caught 2 last weekend there, but I don't know if there are enough there to target them. 

They should start showing up in force in the lower lake by May.  Point 5 area should start seeing some too.

Here are the stripers of which @Quillback spoke. Also caught some big fat female white bass that were chasing the huge bait balls. 3.3 Keitech in Sight Flash on an underspin.

I bet they were line stretchers.  I’ve never caught one.

I checked out Indian Creek Sunday and found tons of bait....but none of these big whites.

My 2 cents on the whites back there is that they come in on a good rain, hang around for a few days then vamoose.  If this system that is coming through tonight dumps some rain , it may be worth going back there.  The backs of some of the other coves would be worth checking out too.

I trolled around the main cove around the bait and there was lots of it. Nothing...I ventured back in a couple coves but found nothing. Before I knew it I was back towards the dam....found some walleye out there and called it a day.

Looks like fun! I’m going to try and go after them next week. Judging by the water stain, I assume this wasn’t Indian Creek.

Back of Indian is stained.
