THE STRIPERS START RUNNING IN THE ETOWAH REAL SOON. ANYBODY AROUND CARTERSVILLE THINKING ABOUT GOING CAN GIVE ME A PM AND MAYBE WE CAN COMPARE IDEAS.
The stripers are coming, I caught a 13 pounder from the Coosa Saturday. Stripers will be runnin' up the Coosa, Etowah, and Oostanaula Rivers for the next month or 2. I catch some nice ones from the Coosa and Oostanaula, but haven't fished the Etowah much.
I went fishing for a couple hours last night in my home river, the Oostanaula. I caught 4 stripers between 6 and 10 lbs. and man they were fun to catch. I also caught 2 cats, and one was a 27 lb. blue, which is a big fish for this river. I didn't take any pics of the stripers because if you don't revive and release them immediately they will belly up on you. I did get a good shot of the blue though.
CAUGHT 4 LB STRIPER ON A WHITE GRUB AND A GOOD BUNCH OF BREAM. WENT UP THE ETOWAH TO THE FIRST BIG ROCK BEFORE BOLING PARK AND THEN DRIFTED BACK DOWN.
THERE ARE SEVERAL PLACES BEHIND BOLING PARK WITH BANK ACCESS. WE WERE FISHING IAROUND THAT AREA AND THATS WHERE MY DOL CAUGHT A 4 LBER.
MY SON-IN-LAW WENT OUT SUNDAY,DOWN BELOW LADDS FARM SUPPLY ON 113,HE CAUGHT 5 STRIPERS BETWEEN 4-9LBS.I CAUGHT 3 THAT WERE SMALL-2-3LBS.WE WERE FISHING OFF THE BANK USEING LIVER AND YELLOW GRUBS WITH WHITE LEADHEADS.
