    Default How deep are those Striper being caught?

    On Lake Hartwell in the past two weeks, I've caught striper and hybrid between the depths of 32 to 45 feet at night in 70 feet of water. I'm curious to know what depths they are being caught during the day as well as on other lakes.

    Any input?

    I fish Cherokee in TN, I have been catching the big guys around 30-50 feet deep. I hauled in a 32lb hog last week. I think I am going to take a break from striper for a while though and concentrate on Douglas lake a little.

    My friend and I caught 14 at 50 feet on lake Murray. Night fishing. Largest was 8 lb striper. Had two hybrids in the catch. Kept 9.

    We troll with bucktails and do pretty good. Troll at 35 feet 2.5mph boat speed. Depends on the time of day but usually they will hit bucktails all day long.. Night time does better with live herring.
