Went to seek areas and started east of EC. Met a guy named Jesse who was cluing me in on many locations. I tried one place and swang back by where he was and he was hooked into a striper. Borrowed a lure and I caught 2 but he caught a bunch. Probably 15 between the 2 of us.
I think there were 7-9 in that 34 quart cooler here. Many have said stripers are the best tasting fresh water fish. I've never had them so I'll see tomorrow.
2 hours of filleting worried about the canyon coyotes coming to check it out and I am off to bed.

Killer job man!! I've bin researching i.v. for some flatheads....I've got a pond nearby loaded with bullheads I wanna use as bait.
Nice going Jim! Curious to hear about how they taste. Never had them either.
The salt water bass taste better IMHO, but those freshwater only stripers sure are yummy. So many ways to cook them with big white flakey meat!
So... what lure were you using? Dangle that out as bait to us and leave us hanging? ;) ;D
Nice haul, Jim.
Nice haul!

They are feeding on silver shad. Jesse gave me a storm swim bait but said any silver shad type lure can be effective when they are on the feed. Said it gets more intense in August.
The fish were full of 2" shad.
