[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 1973733, member: 220"] I did my test with fluorocarbon Friday. I was using 20 pound fluorocarbon and my buddy was using 30 lb big game mono. He had one strike to my 6. That don't sound like much but consider I only had 6 shad to use. Thanks for the baitfish help. That's exactly what we've been doing but just haven't been catching many in numbers. We've been catching 4 or 5 and then running and fishing with those until they are gone. We have started to catch a bunch of smaller shad (1-2 inches) that are flipping on the surface, but these have been thredfin shad. The gizzards have been more isolated for some reason; I'm talking about catching just one or two in your net instead of 10 or more like last year. I've personally never done any good on artificial baits for stripers. The topwater thing would be fun but like they have said, its seasonal and you have to hit it just right. But I have actually caught quite a few smaller ones on big spoons. I've not caught any over 8 pounds, but even the smaller ones are fun and sometimes they run with the white bass when they are busting shad. I've not done the Hiwassee yet for stripers. By saying the Appalachia on the Hiwassee, I'm assuming you are talking about the powerhouse instead of the dam? I don't know of a dam in TN on the Hiwassee but there is the powerhouse. They say they migrated up there to feed on trout up there; I bought a 6" trout swim bait just for trying it up there. [/QUOTE]
