Pleasant Stripers?

[ike whitson]

Not to get off the MAIN FISH, but, has anybody have any Knowledge on how to rig for those mean little buggers? We tryed them out for a few hour's last night and got a few small bites but couldn't hook anything. I tryed a dropper rig with about a 12" hook line and 18" weight line, a green crappie light, but had a hard time keeping the boat in one spot because of the wind, and, we fished the lake side of the tire line in front of the marina. I didn't try anchoring cause it's 150' deep and my line is only 150'. There were boats tyed to the tire line on both sides lake and marina. Anybody had any luck, or even tryed these area's? Any help would be greatly appreciated, as they sure seem to allued me, and, ( Yes I know thats not hard to do!:confused2: :confused2: ) but anyhow:0a35: :0a31:

Stripers,
A few friends of mine fished Plesant on Friday night and said they did real well at Castle creek.
* They caught stripers and white bass.

~ Regarding rigging up for the Stripers, Cut anchovies work good and live minnoes or shad will catch stripers and White bass under the lights..

Andy said it best,

Use cut anchovies or live medium-sized minnows. Stripers will range in depth depending on the water temps and time of year.

I have had the most luck fishing for them at Powell between 11pm to 3-4a.m. and then from about 6a.m. to 8-9a.m. I have caught stripers as deep as 120feet. The best thing to do though is to get some underwater lights. The stripers will come nearer to them because the lights draw in baitfish. As well, buy yourself an extra bag of anchovies and cut them into really small pieces and chum the water. I have learned that this really draws them in. Some people don't like to be generous, but for me, the more the better.

Ike, what day are you going to be at Pleasent? I and a couple of friends will be there Friday night. We will get there right at dark and start fishing inside the tires. I own a 18' 6" deep-v boat made by Spectrum it's white with a teal stripe and a 120 Force motor on it. I'll toss a white light in the water and start chumming to bring the fish in, if you hear some guys getting loud when the bite starts it will be us, as one guy has not fished for a long time and I hope to put him on fish. Last time out we took fish home and the size was 2-7 pounders. Kevin

Not sure? Right now I'm looking for someone who wants to go, my girlfriend has to work, and everybody else is either working,elk hunting,or up in washington. If I do get up there I'll look you up--- I'll be in a 17' white/silver Lund.
GOOD LUCK HOPE YOU GET TO DO ALOT OF WHOOPIN & HOLLERIN!!!
