Striper fishing in KY
« on: August 14, 2011, 12:21:30 PM »
Went out at 0500 this morning on Cumberland Lake in KY for a little striper fishing.  Talk about muggy, but really nice on the water, the air temp was 70 and the water temp was 84 degrees. The stripers are deep and scattered, not in their usual packs.  Fishing was slow but still had a lot of fun, here's a few photos.

Cool looking fish, how are they to eat?
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

Awesome striper! im jealous, i miss fishing linesiders

Cool looking fish, how are they to eat?

strippers cook up amazing! in my oppinion they taste just like salmon, lingcod, and halibut... nice firm white meat ;)


ohhh wait... STRIPERS.... not strippers... well fish is fish ;) in all seriousness though... east coast delicasy

i used to fish stripers out of gloucester/cape ann, massachusettes, all the way up to rivermouths in new hampshire... they are still to this day one of my favorite fish to go after. the seccond most violent strike ive ever seen on a top water lure was by a striper, the first being a roosterfish in baja mexico...

awesome fish! having not seen pictures of any caught in many long years, that sure brings me back....

catch it. kill it. cook it. eat it.
Forget the bear spray, use wasp killer. Concentrated delivery stream, 10X the product, and only $3.00 on sale.

I smoke two fish in the morning, I smoke two fish at night, I smoke two fish in de afternoon makes me feel alright

Nice! The boat looks ready for salmon fishing out here with the down riggers and gear!
