Started at loudon before daylight trying to get bait. We tried several places Didn't do so hot so we went down to watts bar dam and managed to find a few gizzards. They kicked up the current around 1:30 and we caught 3 monster stripers. biggest was 38 lbs and we had a 32 and a 35 as well. Mine was much smaller unfortunately.

glad to see they are running somewhat my dads coming up next weekend and he loves to go fish for them up at watts barr that was our problem last time we went was a lack of shad. have you ever tried fishing for them with bluegills i have heard they will suck them up like candy but never fished with them.

Nice trip Craig! Those are some really nice fish. There is nothing like a big ole Striper on the end of the line!
