Stripers

[Spurhunter]

Went after the stripers for the first time this year. These were 7-10 and 5-13. I love catching them, but from now on I'm catch and release. I can clean 10 crappie in the time it takes to clean 2 of these. We were using artificial lures. These dudes are fun to fight.

Awesome man!
I wanted to try and catch some Saturday but never did.
Meant to bring some stuff to throw at them in between catfishing but forgot to put stuff in my box for it.

Judging by your pics with HT you were very close to the place I catch them.

I love catching them and they can be a little harder to clean but to me, it's worth it. I think they are a great tasting fish!

I'll trade you a slimy catfish trip for a striper trip.

dont run your knife close to the skin and you wont have to trim off much of the redline. same for asian carp if you ever want to filet one of those nasty things.

I will bring all the gear for a stripe trip and there will be no backlash

Do you guys cook them just like crappie or bream, or is there a tip / trick I need to know?

I like to grill them like salmon. Rub a little olive oil. Sprinkle some Carl's seasoning and place on a grill at about 400. Good eating. Rare that I keep them to eat because I like bluegill and crappie better.

Believe it or not, I have a buddy from Louisiana (they'll try anything :lol that caught some asian carp bowfishing and decided to try them. He said they were quite good. So he cooked some for some friends and they thought they were eating crappie. I find it hard to believe they thought it was crappie, but that's what he said. I'm not sure I could get past the thought of what I was eating. I hate those slimy bastiches.

My girlfriend just asked me today when I was going to grill some fish. She much prefers grilled over fried. Sounds like she is going to get her wish.

asian carp are not bad, not comparable to crappie, imo, more like cod in texture and flavor. i slit their gills and bleed them then stick them on ice then wash all the slime off before fileting.

for the stripers, we always had a fish fry with them. taste similar to a small largemouth, not as good as crappie but they are good. around 79-81 we caught them literally by the hundreds from pickwick up to clifton, along the ledges, always the end of march, dragging carolina rigged crawfish up the drops . lol, i always wondered if we broke the law because the first i can remember the 2 fish limit was around 94 or 95. anyhoo i was just a teenager fishing with my step dad.

I can't even imagine how much fun that was!

Say when

We troll with lead line and 9" Grandma lures that are for Muskie . No downrigger needed. For example, 80 yards of line in the water while trolling 2.5 to 2.9 mph puts the lure at 40ft deep.

Norris is in striper season. Time to fill the freezer.

Here you go Spur. A buddy of mine that is a Chef at a restaurant in Oxford MS just posted this a little while ago. Now how you put it all together I have no idea but it does look pretty incredible. The guy is a helluva chef for sure!


Wild Striped Bass, Pearl Cous Cous, Ratatouille, Creamy Citrus Vinaigrette.

I cut the fillet lengthwise and remove the lateral line. After a soak in buttermilk, I cut those pieces into basically crappie sized fillets, bread and deep fry. However, I am a true southerner, I like everything breaded and deep fried!
