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.
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?

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.
I see them at about 23'-27' but they just aren't bitin. Whatya guys catching them on?

drop a live shad down there they will take it...little tricki use soe times is to cut the shad right above the tail and drop it.. stripers are like sharks they smell blood they go nuts
Ahh, the Clinton master has spoken! :D
I really don't use live bait though....

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.
