For the past two weeks the striper bite has started to heat up! The line sides are showing up in good numbers, sometimes better than others depending on the weather. Three to five pound average with a few larger fish thrown in. Early morning and late evening are the best fishing times. The main lake and up river are some good areas to try. Rolling anchovies or trolling flukes is working well. Don't forget to soak, inject or lace your bait in your favorite Pro Cure scent.
