Havasuhunter Report post Posted December 18, 2014 Been doing pretty well on the stripers. Two of us caught a bunch yesterday on 8" Producer Plug Glide baits and 8" S wavers. Also got them on 5" Shad colored paddle tails and a 1/2oz head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Havasuhunter Report post Posted December 18, 2014 A couple Pics. I usually release everything, but the guy I had on the boat wanted a bunch, so we kept some. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost85 Report post Posted December 18, 2014 release stripers? aren't they an invasive species in which the G&F urges people to not release? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Havasuhunter Report post Posted December 18, 2014 release stripers? aren't they an invasive species in which the G&F urges people to not release? No, thats why they have limits on them. We almost kept a limit this time, but I usually just keep a few for dinner. I dont like to freeze them. If we didn't release most yesterday we would have sank my boat.:-) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Havasuhunter Report post Posted December 18, 2014 Fishing is pretty good here for sure. Lost s 20-25lb channel cat on an 8" glide the other day too. Also been a pretty good crankbaits bite for Smallmouth averaging 2.5-3lbs. Other days it's just dead tough, but I've caught at least a few every trip in Dec.
