They’re catching stripers on umbrella rigs, down lined live bait, and in line floats to target them. Look for fish in depths ranging from 25 - 40 feet. The night bite should heat up in the coming weeks. Up in Tennessee, Old Hickory Lake is also fishing well. Adams Guide Service had an incredible day this week - over 30 walleye and sauger and a myriad of other fish. They caught their fish on 5/8th oz jigs tipped with minnows bouncing the bottom. Meanwhile in Oregon, you might think about fishing Coos Bay. Conditions for crabbing and rockfish and lingcod angling in Coos Bay should be improving as the mud and heavy freshwater runoff subsides from recent storms. Using a jig with a twister tail has been a great bait for catching rockfish. Anglers have been catching lingcod with a herring floated under a bobber.
