Quick limit on Whitney this past Sat morning (30 mins). Live bait on the ridge beside the river channel south of the bridge.

Looks like a solid, healthy limit of stripes to me.

Until this year I was so stubborn and refused using shad because of the well known pain in the butt it can be to catch and care for them but man does it pay off! Especially in many situations where artificials just dont produce. Do you have a smart trolling motor to spot lock over fish or what do you do? I have a smart trolling motor and I wont ever go back to not having one now especially for shad fishing.

Perch will work but they are like #5 on the best bait list, numbers 1-4 are shad. I usually use perch because I'm 69 with two bad knees and and a hip that needs a second replacement. I would pay unreasonable prices for live shad on Lake Whitney.

Interesting to hear what works for different people. I have had better success on Whitney with perch. Ive had great luck with shad, perch just seem to get hit harder than shad for me.

By perch, are yall talking about bluegill or something else? Never had luck with them but did catch some good fish on goldfish years ago.
