STRIPER EXPLOSION!!!!

Greetings All:
Well, its finally happening. The stripers are going crazy on the Mississippi River in Pool 13. With river still high, look downriver from dam and search out flooded sand flats and back sides of points that break the current. Was out this morning, nice chop on water and fish were going crazy. Beautiful stripers up to 4lbs. plus hit my livewell.

Best presentation was either a white hair jig tipped with a black twister tail in the 2" range or a small sinking stickbait or small flashy crank bait. Cast tight to shore and use a steady retrieve for best results.  If you want you can verticle jig deeper areas with bright colored jigs tipped with a minnow. Either way, some really great fishing going on and it's only going to get better through May.

Good luck and save a few for me. Gotta go, time to clean my dinner!!!
