Took a few days off and camped with my son on beautiful Lake Whitney!

Lake Whitney has the numbers and the trophies! I know of two 20lb+ striper caught within the last 2 months and lots of 8-12lb fish being caught!

We caught easy limits each day and then some on the south end in 22-35FOW. Slopes near creek or river channels in the afternoons and 20-25' flats in the mornings and evenings were best for us. Live bait was the ticket! If you have live gizzard shad, it is game over for the stripes! Just getting the gizzard shad scent in the water will light the graph up! Our best fish of the trip was a 30"+ 9.9lber! We caught several 7-9lb fish as well!

Getting shad was tough. We had to run up in the river to catch bait. Thanks to TFF'er Mike for the bait tip!

Still searching for my Texas 20lber, but had a blast! Maybe next time...

Wow those are some nice stripers. Whitney is a great lake for stripers and sandbass.

Thanks Guys!

I used my own boat. My son and I are addicted to stiper fishing!

I fished with http://lakelivingstonadventures.com/ several times a few years ago and its paid off BIG TIME! Michael & Chris showed me how to use my fish finder, fishing methods for different times of the year, and how to catch & keep bait. These guys are the best fishermen I know and great to be around!
