Going to stay at my place on PK this weekend and could use some help on striper fishing by the dam. Gonna run up to it early Saturday morning on my jet ski and see if I can't get a big striper on a live 6-8 inch gizzard shad. If you've been recently any tips would help thank you!!
Thanking the lord for another day on the water

Looks like you will have a northern wind ya might want to balloon a shad up ther with a 20 ft leader from it. You might need a big reel though. Its a long ways up to dam from bouys
Keep em tight!

Water is ultra clear by the dam. Use Fluorcarbon and free line or balloon the bait behind the ski. Split shot if you need to get it down. 7 inch Redfins will also catch them.

It's going to be tough to catch keeper striper right now. I caught some super nice big 6 inch threadfins in Neely slough two days ago and went out to the green lights on gaines bend and caught fish after fish. All of them big 15-16 inch sandbass except for a few nice LM bass. Normally, I can catch stripers until I get tired at those lights.
The one thing I've learned about living on PK for the last five years is I do not know much about fishing this lake. The places that ALWAYS had keeper stripers now does not. I have no idea where the big stripers went to. Randy Wood is catching them but he makes a living do that and could probably catch one from a manhole in Dallas.
All that said, those big sandbass were mighty tasty. You are going to catch fish and lots of them but those big stripers will be scarce.

Russ: The water is so clear by your dock that after dark it's like an aquarium with that light.

Let me start by saying "You do what you want, no judgement from me"
but
Is fishing from a Jet Ski Legal? I have done it before but someone just recently told me in no uncertain terms that it was NOT legal.

I'm pretty sure it is legal. I see no reason it shouldn't be. I've seen several jet skis rigged just for fishing. IMO if someone owns one of those dam things it should only be used to fish not harass fishermen or other boaters. Not my cup of tea cause I need room to fight big striper and hybrids.

I'm with you Jobo. I've had jetskis come into a cove I was fishing at Texoma and begin doing doughnuts. When I waved to tell them to take that out to the main lake they yelled " you don't own the lake".
The kicker though was the teenager who was doing doughnuts in a jet ski on Gaines Bend on a pitch black night. Almost hit him coming back from Bluff creek. Just saw the spray and killed the boat. He gave me that "WHATTTT!" look as my boat settled in right beside him. ( where's the BRA when they are needed) Gotta be tough to have a teenager.
