stripers

The pattern has not changed much for the stripers. In the mornings, the umbrella has been the best producer. The u-rigs with heavier jigs are out producing the lighter rigs. Try to use one ounce jigs or more on the rig. The umbrella bite has been best out on the main lake. Once this bite is over, go to the downline. The best depth has varied, but the most important thing is to keep your baits just above the huge bait schools in the creeks up north. The fish are finicky when you find them on the downline but stay with it and you will pick up some nice fish. Trout continue to be the best producer for myself as well as the smaller herring. I am getting bit on the larger herring but you almost have to a have a stinger in them. Almost every fish right now is 8 pds or better. There has been a good number of fish theis week caught over twenty pounds.
