    I really need help to catch stripers, I tried so hard and had no chance today at Castaic lake, CA. it will be sunny 53 to 78 and no or mild wind in clear water. Please help as much as you can about rigging and bait for bottom fishing and lures from the bank. my plan is send one inside in Carolina rig and cast a lure same time. I am open to suggestions. Thank You for helping.

    Hello, I am going to Lake Powell for spring break and was interested in catching largemouth, smallmouth, striper, and northern pike as well as catfish. I was wondering if any angler who has had success at Powell have any lure and technique tips on how to catch any of these species? Thanks.

    How is the Taunton River for striper fishing? Both for early season schoolies/ holdovers and mid-season full grown stripers? I have family just south of Dighton Rock so that is where I would put my kayak in. Thanks!

    I have a couple of questions about the bullhead city/Laughlin area. My mother in law just finished up a four year divorce and wants to stay in Laughlin for a few days to celebrate...yippee. I'll be there the first week of May 2017. I don't wanna hang around the hotel all day with the golden girls and have always wanted to fish it, however, the four or five times I've been there I've ran into some issues: 1. Never had a license therefore didn't fish(resolved) 2. Cannot find a local tackle shop. 3. Don't wanna fish lake mead.not taking my boat. 4. Really would like to tag a few stripers,don't even know if this is the time for them there, figured I'd start my research on this forum first. 5. I fish conventional gear, but I love fishing carp on the fly. I have found butt tons of carp in the river,but the big ones are spooky and the jet skis turn them off. 6. I'd love to dump my mother in law off there so if anyone is interested in a 55 year old narcoleptic Latina, I got one. thanks in advance.

    Hey Guys, Been out of the saddle for a season or two. Boy, am I in Fishing Fever mode. I was reading some favorable reviews about this lure from Lucky Craft. Headed down to Wheeler Dam this week to toss something at the local stripes, spotted bass, maybe a suager or two! Who has used this lure or something in the series close to it? Any particular retrieve method? Thanks, Reg

    Well folks, its been awhile since I have made a post. Ive moved to the gulf coast of Florida from Palm beach within the last yr, and now heading up to Middle Tennessee to move and cant wait to be in cooler weather. I will be living on percy priest in a nice area with abundant smallies and largies and even rockies lol. I have several set ups I can use for Percy Priest lake in Nashville. But I am curious. What rod and real combos do you use to free line shiners or other tackle for stripers that are 30+ lbs in the Old Hickory area. What about the Percy Priest area where the stripers are generally smaller? I grew up mainly fishing for Smallies and Largies in Ohio and been hammering peacocks and largemouths in Florida. I have a few light tackle inshore rods i use for snook and redfish. Any tips for stripers rod/reel combos regarding size of rod, type of reel, and line to use etc. Thanks folks and happy holidays.

    Been a terrific week on The Delaware, wading every day, fishing flats in Bucks County. Thought I'd include a few of my better fish from this week thus far. Smallies have been very active under mid day bluebird skies. Best numbers have been on soft paddletail swimbaits on a light weighted hook. During overcast periods or when the wind has made finesse less effective, walking baits have gotten big blow ups worked nearly as fast as I can retrieve on a 7:1 baitcaster. Short strikes or slaps mean I go into hyper-speed and burn, burn, burn - they come back for it ticked off. First cast of the day on Tuesday, I just about jumped outta my shoes when this channel cat whacked my swimbait. Fun fight on 6lb fluoro. Caught several more channels on swimbaits while casting for smallies. Striper have been blistering walking baits on breaklines beside flats all week. I like the Strike King Sexy Dawg, again - fast as I can burn it. Lots on large paddletails and four on a Lucky Craft Pointer 100sp, always on the pause. All fish released as always. Hope you guys are hammering them wherever you’re at!

    Today I caught my first striper ever. It wasn't a huge fish, only about 2-3 lbs. But while unhooking him hooked my index finger with a treble hook (for the first time as well) from the lure past the barb. Pulled it out, and caught two more stripers. It was a good day.

    Hey all, As a Boston area native, it is almost disappointing for me to say that it took until I was fifteen to catch my first striper. Now that I have, I'm hooked. I know saltwater doesn't come up much on the resource, but i'd like to ask those of you who striper fish: how do you catch 'em? I'm looking for any tips I can get from rods/ reels/ to baits to locations to times of day. Don't be shy, anything you know about striper fishing that you would be willing to share would be greatly appreciated. Hopefully I can stockpile some info and apply it before winter or let it ferment until spring in order to get in on some good ones. Thank!

    Hey guys, I've been seriously thinking about trying out Muskie fishing over the last couple months, but have been waiting to figure out what kind of gear to get. Cabela's recently had their Tourney Trail casting reels on sale for $32.99, so I ordered a heavy rod since it was such a good deal. Here are the rod specs: Length: 7'6" Power: Heavy Action: Fast Lure Weight: 1-3 oz Lb Test: 17-40 Now, Ive been looking into several options for a reel. I'm wanting a reel that I can use for musky, but I would also like to use it for something like Striper fishing or pier fishing at the beach (If that is possible with this setup). I'm looking for a reel in the $100 price range, so I've mostly been looking at the Abu Garcia Ambassadeur C4 6600, but I have also looked at the Shimano Cardiff 400A or the Shimano Corvalus. Given my intetions for musky/ occasional saltwater fishing, which reel would you guys recommend me look into getting? Thanks! Dillon

    Hit Newport News Park (Lee Hall Reservoir) today for a very short jaunt. I liked the weather conditions so wanted to hit a couple spots close to the boat launch that produced for me. I also wanted to try a Cotton Cordell red spot lipless crank. I haven't caught anything on a lipless in a couple years, so why not. Threw it on a 6' M rod paired with my Daiwa Lexa. On one cast my Lexa went wonky, got grindy in the gears, but still reeled, so I kept casting. On the second cast I hit was seemed a log, but then it moved. And kept moving, pulling my and my kayak, stripping line for about 75 yards before I saw a white body boil up. Until this time I thought I foul hooked a nice largie, but now I thought I might have a huge catfish. I never once thought it could be a striper, they don't stock them here. Anyhow, it finally revealed itself at an estimated 100 yards from where we started. It didn't even fit in my net. Weighed an even 14lbs on my spring scale. The digital scale got wet and wouldn't work.

    From the album: Pix

    Caught this beast at, of all places, Newport News Park (Lee Hall Reservoir). Did not even know they had any Stripers stocked.

    Accidental Striper
    This fish comes with a story. I was going to let the wind blow me in to the 10-15 foot water that I wanted to fish. I killed the outboard in 70ft of water and was heading to my target. I decided to give a cast to see if my baitcaster was tuned in. The cast was fine, and in fact, I hooked up with this fish on that test cast! I didn't have a pair of pliers and I couldn't figure out how to get this fish in the boat. I ended up hooking my scale to the crankbait and lifted it into the livewell that way. I had to head across the lake looking for my dad who was in the other boat with the tools and stuff. Good thing, though. Cause I was able to get this picture! 12lbs.
