I fish lake seminole. We have a fishable population of stripers, but not enough to have people to specialize in catching them. The lake I fish on (Lake Seminole Ga) is fairly shallow. River channel depth are around 35'. I routinely see fish, i believe to be striper, that shadow shad in the...

Curious as to what size hook you all are using when using live alewives for bait. I caught some 4-5 inch alewives the last time I was at the lake. I was using a NO. 1 Gamakatzu circle hook and hooking them through both nostrils. Some of the bait it seems came off the hook that way. Should I use...

I am planning a trip to Lake Ouachita, Arkansas, May 7 -14 and I'm seeking advise on how to fish for freshwater stripers. I fished with a guide in October a few years ago using live shad and slow trolling. I have read that the stripers are up near the surface early and on cloudy days and can be...

which is better? Frozen: fresh bait frozen, then vacuum packed and frozen; when use, cut open vacuum package and thaw slowly; salted: fresh bait salt cured with non-iodized salt; freeze in package to prevent freezer burn

Several questions on one post. Where can I buy a bait tank maximum of 30 gallons for a decent price? Will be using it to hold live shad. Also where to purchase a decent 8' cast net? When I do some striper fishing come next spring I want to have at least four rods at the ready in case we run into...

Hi everyone, My name is Fred, and I'm based out of Staten Island, NY. I've been a freshwater angler for some time (primarily LMB - and bluegills, when I'm feeling lazy). The hot weather and the mosquito spraying have chased the fish, further and deeper than I can reach from shore, so I've...

Hey guys caught my first Striper two nights ago and am hooked on targeting them vs. LM Bass. I am a lake fisherman and fish Lake Nockamixon in PA. It has a good population of Hybrids and purebreads. The main baitfish are alewife and gizzard shad. I am willing to fish with bait but prefer lures...

What's a good spinning rod/reel setup for trout and panfish? Thanks.

I'm not sure what the record is, but this sure shatters the old Alabama record of 55lb. http://whnt.com/2013/03/01/walker-county-man-lands-70-pound-striped-bass/

I've got back into the freshwater stripers of late. I've got a AG 5500 and a Penn9 on 7'-7.5' rods. I'm looking for another outfit to run a spider rig and deep divers on. It would also do backup at the coast on some inshore and nearshore fishing. I'm leaning toward a 7000 on a 8' rod. What...

I never thought I would consider this during striper season but thinking of doing some freshwater instead of striper fishing tomorrow due to heavy rain, this is my 4th Tuesday in a row I took off for striper season and it's going to rain, we got skunked 4 of the 7 times we have been out and they...

A state fishing record was set today, March 31, 2012. Tyler Shields, Lucas Kilpatrick, Logan Howard, Bobby Pisciotta, Logan and Caleb Davis were fishing this morning on the Hiwassee Lake at Beaver Dam when Shields hooked a 66.1 pound Striper Bass. It took the guys 45 minutes to reel it in. They...

Anyone use a pontoon boat for trolling for stripers? Please give me details.

Hello to all, New to striper fishing but I understand they catch quite a few in the fall particularly Dec/Jan. I have read that these fish are here year round and they are not the migratory ocean striper. I prefer artificials but have nothing against live bait fishing. I am in the lower...

Looking for a little help/advice for Freshwater Striper fishing to get me pointed in the right direction. This is my first season fishing for Stripers in Liberty Reservoir and have been skunked more times than I care to admit. :icon_cry: I have an 18ft Lowe with an old 48V electric motor...

Caught this up in Ithaca, NY on Lake Cayuga.

Alright, after 30 years of fishing farm ponds and off lake docks, I finally bought a 21 ft fishing pontoon boat to take my kids out. One of the things I have always wanted to do is get into striper trolling on Beaver Lake, Arkansas. Have the boat - Have absolutely nothing else probably worthy...

Other saltwater fish oils, like sardine and anchovy, attract freshwater stripers---but I never hear mentioned Menhaden oil, the 'go to' attractant for East Coast stripers. Anyone heard anything on the subject?

Im going to be using live bait on most of my reels with 2 oz egg sinker. Those will be the abu 5500's. I wanted to get some line for my abu revo also but im not certain what line to chose. I started out as a spiderwire fan but now i hate it after using fluorocarbon coated Pline. Most people here...
