I went to the river tonight, below the hydro plant @ Little Rock and caught 9 stripers from 10-12 inches.

Made a trip to the river at pine bluff and caught a ton of 5-10 inch striper! Never caught near that many on the river. Also did decent on the crappie, boy do I hate those striper!

Must have had a big Spawn last spring ! The Arkansas River is one of the few places they spawn naturally here .

,not true. They will spawn in fresh water under the right conditions. That's how they became so prolific in lake Santee Cooper and Moultrie in South Carolina. Some got trapped when they built the dam and every since they have gone upriver and spawned successfully. That's where most of the brood stock came from originally to stock different lakes around the country.

Yesterday, there were tons of 8 and 10 incher stripers chasing small shad and literally driving pickup loads of them up on a steep bank. I have never seen them trying to get out of the water like that before. There were so many small stripers, you dip a jig two feet in the water and they would grab it. They ran me out of my area.
Yea, I bet it is going to hurt crappie and bass in the near future! Sounds like they are there to stay.
Stripers spawn naturally in Texoma and lake Powell. I don't think anyone knows for sure what is the magic formula for stripers that live entirely in freshwater to spawn.
