Anyone else fish Norris in Tennessee for striper's I've been at it scene 1996 and love it. I go every spring with a few friends and try to go when I take the family on our family lake trip every few years and this is the year.

Never fished it but I love Striper fishing on Lake Texoma. Went twice last spring/summer and hope to go a bunch more times this year.

last striper i caught in texhoma. corry and i stopped to eat at tongs chinese in (i think) madill. they traded 2 meals for the striper. the cook said the head was the best part, i guess i will take his word on it.


ok somebody should remark on the last line!

When I clean Striper or eye on thing I make sure and do is to cut out the cheek meat,this I feel is some of the best on the fish.

We have a floating home in Shanghai, and most of our friends are in Springs. My good friend and charter captain is Johnny Cash is out of Springs, in fact he lives in New Carlisle. We fish and party together at there floating home at Springs Dock . What kind of Boat to you fish out of, I will keep a look out for it on the lake.... If they have some good weather in Feb. I am going down for some winter fishing....
