nucanoe needs to test fish finder.
don'r want to be the only one on water.

i'll be on texoma sunday morning. putting in at Eisenhower or Denison Dam, not sure which yet.

I've seen your good plan but i can't make it sunday.

If go texoam, i will go your route.

Redsoxnation,
Where do you get live minnow in texoma?

I'm pretty sure you can get minnows at Dave's

Yep, and black salties...

Grease Bass,

Thanks for the info and they do. Just called and confirmed.

HankS,

No luncky to find black salties.
Where are they? Good to know a backup place.

no idea, that's the only place I've ever seen them. I didn't even know what they were but the guy said I should try em. That was before I figured out how to catch a striper!

They're tough little boogers. I think they lived in tap water for about a month outside my shop. All except the 2 or 3 that I out on a hook that is.

Yep, Dave's is the place for shad and licenses if you're in that area

Are the black salties better for striper than shad? I'm a striper rookie

No, not even close. They are sold because they are pretty big, frisky, and hardy. Shad are fragile and not easy to keep alive. They are also the number one forage fish in almost all fresh water bodies, so the predators are accustomed to feeding on them. Search dead sticking for winter striper, or follow GreaseBaths advice on the other post. Plastic fishing is cheap, easy, and fun.

I'll be heading out from Eisenhower tomorrow morning as well. I'm really new to kayak fishing so we'll see how it goes, I'll be in a sand colored wilderness ride 115, blue life jacket.
