Stripers

[bill herian]

All I got is a natural resources degree from a JC. You da man!

General NR or something specific?

[Bootlipkiller]

General, learned a lot and I'm glad I did it. Didn't help me out with my profession much but that's ok.

Nice. I'm actually Land Use Planning with a Soils minor, but we get around to forestry, fisheries, and wildlife too.

Most of us end up doing septic tank inspections.

Shit cop for life.

Aren't there hybrid stipers in freshwater all over the place?

They have a very interesting history in North America and stigma vary by locale. Look at the southern resivors that used to have some of the most productive crappie and walleye fisheries on the planet, that have now plummeted because of striped bass. Some people love them down there, they are big, dumb, pelagic foragers that grow big in deep cool impoundments and offer good commercial opportunity.

Exactly, Ours may be hybrids but we just call them stripers. Texoma used to be the best sand bass and crappie lakes around until the stripers came in and started cleaning them all up.

I've talked to fisheries guys that worked in Kentucky and they said in all the hundreds of stripers they cut open they could count on one hand the number of things they found that were not one kind of shad or another, mostly gizzard shad I believe. There has long been public outrage that stripers are eating all the gamefish, but from what I gather it ain't true. Dosen't mean they aren't impacting those fisheries though.

This is exactly right, and I can almost guarantee that the fishery guys worked at lake cumberland. The majority of the Striper diet in Ky is gizzard shad which typically school by the hundreds.

The weather today was bad but we decided to hit the river anyways. Thank god for the bilge pump. Ended up with 5 keepers and one shaker under 18".

Stripers are one of the easiest fish to clean. Get you an electric fillet knife and go at it. Meat is tougher and you are less likely to screw up cutting it.

So are you saying I screwed it up?;)

Negative, I could have done better though.

Or you could take the Oriental approach and just hack it into random pieces with a cleaver, with the guts still in, and then throw it in a stew.

And that last sentence was geared more toward the use of electric filet knives and their usage. You can really fuck up a crappie pretty easy if you aren't careful.

This made me laugh

Limit streak ended today, river came up 3 feet and the wind was howling today.

This sums it up!

[bill herian]

I would bet my truck I can clean kings faster with a conventional knife than anyone with a factory standard electric knife. I would like to try stripers some day. They look easy to.

I can do crappies pretty fast as well, but not as fast as some. I don't catch enough to try to do them fast, which is part of the problem.

Stripers are way easier then kings to clean. You end up with a nice boneless filet.

Cleaning more than about 20 of them is a pain in the ass. Most I can remember us doing was around 75.

Caught this fish last night. That's not my hook in his mouth. Lucky bastard must have broke someone's leader a day or two Pryor to me catching him. I took the hooks out and let him go.

These were not so lucky.

[Tomkat]

You have been on fire!

Do you ever work? You're as bad as jarbo.

:):) I've been on vacation. But I work 12s so I get 3 to days off a week.

[Bootlipkiller]

Me and my dad hammered them today. Caught 10 legal fish in 3 hours.

Nice job, leave one in the river for me.

[Bootlipkiller]

There are plenty more where they came from.
