Our best wiper lake is a lot shallower than yours and almost devoid of structure.
We love to fish the boils. That's where the wipers are herding the shad and just blowing up on them. I love to run and gun. Watch for birds swooping down, then run to the area and cast small silver spoons or crankbaits for them.
I also troll the areas where they have been boiling.
A boil loks just like bluefish in the salt, when they are chasing bait in a group.
Wipers don't spawn, they are hybred and have a couple of missing DNA links. Stripers do spawn in fresh water when land locked. We wish they didn't as the spawn boom and bust cycle in Lake Powell makes management difficult at best,
