DeltaBull came rolling through while I was fishing this morning, and told me had been trolling cranks and catching big stripers... I decided that riding on his pontoon in the shade would be a lot more fun than sitting in the sun watching Thump catch fish, so off we went... We tied em together and went down the river! Just took one pic of the last one, which was far from the biggest! Pontoon life is good!

We call those wipers cause they can wipe out all your tackle.

Clifford put a hurt on, em today. They wouldn't touch my crappie cranks today but neither would the crappie. Saw Dee out a ways from us this morning, then he left..... He'll probably post a pic of a limit here in a little while...
CRUSH! Gonna hammer em again a little later today too... It's all about the baits!
Feesherman says we need to catch all of 'em . If we do that maybe I'll get those 2 baits back... Lol
What I don't understand is why most folks here hate the stripers. I know most of the" active" fishermen here have their freezers full of crappie filets, and give away most of their catch anyway. The fight it's what it's all about. Fighting that drag stripping monster is a lot more fun than lifting up a crappie. Just my opinion....
Probably cause they can destroy tackle and ruin a pleasant day on the water. I chunked a baitcaster for almost 20 years fishing for green carp. I find crappie fishing a lot more relaxing, also it is a crappie fishing site. I'm sure they are striper forums out there. Gets me, if they didn't restock those things in the rez there wouldn't be any to catch. From what I understand they have a tendency to follow the current and get washed out the spillway. Anyways, wouldn't get to offended by crappie fishermen not sharing your enthusiasm over catching stripes. I hate white bass, gar, drum and catfish with a passion [emoji23][emoji23]

Fishin is fishin. It’s all good. Just something special about being on the water. IMHO
Comparing striper(love it) fishing to Crappie fishing is like hunting deer with a 300 mag vs With Bow!!Striper fishing is fun,So is crappie fishing.Quote:

I avoid them if at all possible. They done broke my rods to many times. I got in some out there Saturday.. and some big ones.
Luckily nothing got broke.
I left because after I broke a prop Thursday... and Friday morning realized the lower unit has something messed up in it also, my batteries died.. bought a new set because mine were going on 3 years old and that’s about the max lifespan for my batteries only to find out it’s my charger. One of the banks on my charger is not charging... so I left at 10:00 due to dead NEW batteries... when it rains it pours... no limit for me that day. I had 8-10 when I left.
Went to buy a new charger, but no one sells a 4 bank around here but RJ’s and by the time a finished trouble shooting they had closed.
So.. the fish are safe from me for a little while.. boat headed to RJ’s tomorrow for lower unit repair and then next week I’m off I’ll be fishing in Louisiana.. meanwhile.. y’all please thin out those stripes and leave a few crappie for me when I get back

Dee, we tried to thin them out today but they wouldn't cooperate. I drug bandits out 32 to 65 ft. For 6 hours today, 1.5 to 2.3 mph and didn't get a single taker. We did manage 8 hybrids, a couple big stripers, and a couple catfish. I don't know why I'm not catching crappie.
Not holding your mouth right... Right, Thump?
