Michael Masterson 0I wouldn’t trust forecast. It will change. Fish may go deeper.
-
Drew Mackay 0Just checked the weather and it seems all rain. How's the fishing when it's rainy?
-
Drew Mackay 0Thanks for all the advice Michael! Hopefully I have something to show for it in a couple weeks.
-
Michael Masterson 0That’s what I use with live bait. I use deep diving crankbaits that go 25 to 30 feet. Strikeking 6xd, 8xd, 10xd.
-
Drew Mackay 0Sliding sinkers, 2' leader with shiners? Anything else that works deep?
-
Michael Masterson 0Yes
-
Drew Mackay 0With warmer water do the fish go deeper?
-
Michael Masterson 0Yes. I usually throw everything I can. This lake changes daily. Not one thing always works. What worked today may not tomorrow. With the water warming the last ...more 2 weeks have slowed. Hopefully will pick back up. Kind of a transition I think right now. Last year June and July were good months.
-
Drew Mackay 0That's great stuff, thanks man! Is it worth bring anything but the 9mm flicker shad and KVD swim shad?
-
Michael Masterson 0Usually troll center of coves in “s” pattern. Crooked Creek is the long cove on south side of island f. Usually full of fish this time of year. Seems like most ...more fish I see are 15 to 30 feet deep.
-
Drew Mackay 0Thanks Michael! Do you troll deep water or shore lines? I'm staying at one of the branches just SW of island F. I may hit you up again when I'm out there. ...more I appreciate it!
-
Michael Masterson 0Early morning at dawn or at sunset.
-
Michael Masterson 0Most people use live bait mostly Shad.
-
Michael Masterson 0Hickory Star area is a good spot for stripers right now. Found that stripers really like KVD Caeffine swimmin Shad in ghost color and Berkeley flicker Shad 9 mm ...more in natural colors. In spring I throw swimbaits into striper boils at surface. Now more trolling crankbaits at right depth.
-
Michael Masterson 0I only use flouracarbon on Norris.
-
Drew Mackay 0Any color of line? I use braided a lot but I fish in Texas muddy water. Norris is pretty clear, what do you use?
-
Drew Mackay 0Hey Michael, I'm heading to Norris for a week in mid June. Some family friends have a Lake house near hickory star. Wanting to find a couple Stripers and you ...more don't seem to have any issues finding them, ha! Any tips for a first timer?
-
