Fish 3 to 15 feet deep and close to the brush with live minnows, grubs, and flies. Striped bass and Cherokee bass are in the areas of Point 8 on up to Point 26. Most stripers were caught at Point 21 to 24 this past week. Straight-line fishermen are using live shad and Hopkins spoons. Trollers are using big white or pink jigs, red fins, or 30 plus crank baits. Fish 5 to 30 feet deep.[/size][/font]
