Who knows something about this lake and the striper fishing? Is it like Texoma will they reproduce on the lake naturally? Thinking about a little trip out that way one day and just don't know enough about it. I did look up the regulations on the lake and it looks like �No minimum length limit for striped bass, but there is a 5-fish bag limit of which only 2 may be 30 inches or greater. Does that mean you catch so many big fish they only allow you 2 over 30 inches?

I never hear anything about this lake, ever. for any species.
wierd since it was at one time on of the best lakes in the US.

The forum is full of reports @ Texoma. I believe the slot is 2 over twenty and no minimum length.

I was refering to Texoma on the reproduction. Toledo bend slot is two over 30

My old man has a 18#er on his wall that he caught in '79 I believe...lol. Not exactly a current report... Folks still catch them in places out there though, just not in the #s like back in the lake's hay-day. Wish I had more detail for you...

some guy posted in the photo thread not to long ago some nice fish they caught bass fishing then got on a striper bite with dd22 or something. had a guy in my boat today that said they see a good one here and there.

They are there for the taking but the population is waaayyy down. They stopped releasing them a while back in favor if helping the lunker catchers since thats where the money is. The days of 25+lb fish on the lake are gone. Im pretty confident there are none left over 20-22lbs. There are a couple ways to still consistently catch them but its not something I share. Even those techniques get tougher and tougher each year.

The larger striper become "loners" and cruise for big meals (IMHO) - ever try night fishing close to the dam (deeper water) when the bigun's go cruisin' for that easy meal? Have to fish them like bass - casting big baits (Redfins) on the rocks with the boat positioned a good distance away. Works on any lake with a population of striper. Same thing at night in the spring when the bigger fish are making their way up river to spawn - fish the shorelines at night in the rivers.

biggest stripers i ever caught came from TB....19.25 and a 17 in the same day..trolling hellbenders in the boat lanes ....mid 1970's .....dang im old
