The Stripe are up in the mouth of a creek thats connected to Tennessee River. The shad are jumping and the Stripe are chasing them. Some shad are big, should i use a swimbait and fish for the stripe? Also weve been catching the shad in a cast net. What would be a good rig? Does this sound good to yall?:uhuh:

Au natural, live line that shad.

Artificial? Some shad imitator you can run along the periphery of the school. What depths are you looking at here?

Cant go wrong using what they are feeding on!

Were fishing at Spring Creek Alabama
Some of the big stripe are about 20-25 pounds.

The stripe hang around stumps waiting for the shad to swim by.
