Knock on wood, but I found them this weekend (2nd time out this year). Caught 10 to 15 on Saturday and around 20 on Sunday using live bait. most were in the upper teens with a few low teens and a handful in the low 20's. The early morning bite (4:45 to 6:30) was non-existant. However, at 6:30 both mornings it fired up big time. I tried some of my traditional spots for this time of year with no luck. Some a couple of stipes busting the surface near one of my areas so I tried it and it was much shallower than I thought they would be. I was getting them in 33 to 45 feet of water with baits pulled around 30 to 35 feet. Only one came on a flat line. I was fishing mid-lake. My tip is to try spots that you wouldn't expect them to be this time of year and to watch for the occasional stripe hitting the surface.

I am going to try some night time stripe fishing this Thursday for the first time in years. Rarely tried it at Martin so we will see. Good luck!
