Hey, i'm new to the site and new to striper fishing, i am located in east tennessee i will mainly be fishing around fort loudoun, and cherokee dams, if anyone has any pointers for me that would be much apreciated. Anything such as best bait, time or locations, also know i do not have a boat so i will be fishing from the bank. Thanx

if you're fishing cherokee and only fish from the bank, the best spots for you would be towards rogersville. you can catch some stripes around the dam at night when they're pushing bait up on the banks, but you're limited to where you can fish. up river would be better for you because of the ability to wade. live bait is the best way to go. big gizzards and threadfin shad to be more exact. just using them on a float or even a planer board from the bank will work. rogersville is real hot during march and april. hope this helps!
