well, monster considering.....striper are still biting. the numbers are dropping off, but still lots of good fish. I think this heavy upcoming rain will actually fire them off and turn the bite on for a few days after!!

Is there a bait store around the area that sells them or you have to go net them?
Hey Pete did you catch him on the pink rod?????
Caught him freelining on 6lb line on my trusty DUKE BLUE rod ;)
And im not sure of a local "reliable" shop nearby that sells them. I net my own. Both herring and gizzard shad.
Excellent fish!! I imagine that fish had been gorging for years. I know Midway sold live herring/shad a few years ago , but I don't know about now. There was a guy near Mountain Creek that sold live shad , he may still have them. You have to find him on the catfish association.
Great fish Pete , Ive got 2 weeks off starting sat , you up for doing a guided trip id like to learn a little about the stripper and hybrids on LKN.
Midway marina (now lake effects) sells them both shad and herring. You are better off netting them tho because its quite esxpensive..when you can get them for free.
Where do you guys net herring? I didn't know there were herring in LN
Pete, how long was that fish and did you weigh it?
it was 23 1/2 inches, and i dont trust my digital scale to be exact but it was showing 6lbs 14 ozQuote:
