Don't listen to that fellow talking about trolling lures unless you plan on leaving a whole lot of them at PK. The cedar trees in that lake are everywhere and will not give your lure back. lake is down a bit and they are going to be in the way of trolling. I used to troll PK, as that was a great way to catch stripers at Texoma. PK is not like Texoma. if you are going to troll, you best drive over the area first and make sure it's clear of trees.
I have not been catching many stripers at PK recently. The ones I have been catching have not been keepers. Even the green lights on gains bend have been devoid of them. Been catching mostly LM Bass and Big perch, on shiners and perch I catch in the lake. if you want to catch perch look for the Hydrilla patches in the coves by the dam. Those are chock full of 2-4 inch perch perfect for bait.
I live above neely slough and there has been no morning or evening white bass activity on the point by the gibsons. This is probably because there's no threadfins in the slough. The bait in the lake have not recovered from the cold that killed the threads. We have gobs of nice gizzard shad and in the past those were excellent bait but the stripers we have now are usually not large enough to take a 8-10 inch gizzard.
Best of luck to you on your fishing trip. If it were me, I would just get a guide that fishes the lake all the time. If you don't fish that lake every day you'll have a hard time figuring it out in a day trip.
Why are you trying to insult this mans intelligence ? The intel from me is from striper guides making their living on PK. You obviously know nothing with reference to fish being boat spooked ,driving over them twice makes it worse. However, you want someone total your advice, advise from a perch fisherman that can see every area of the dam from his back porch.
WOW!
