I got the bug for Hogan stripers a bit early and headed out for some
trolling. The morning was cool and cloudy, the afternoon was bright
and breezy. The stripers had lockjaw.

I trolled rolling anchovies at 20' and 30' for over five hours for
absolutely zilch - not even a bump. I even trolled up the narrows
thinking maybe they were upriver looking for love. But once through
the narrows I didn't mark a singe fish.

I marked several at around 20' to 25' in the middle of the main lake.
The few I did mark were widely scattered.

Hogan is a mystery; all I know is that the hotter the weather is the
better the fishing is. Usually. Maybe. Well... maybe not! Heck - I
can't figure that place out! Roll Eyes

Maybe next time...

Photos of the lake, the ramp, the boat, the weather and an old photo
of a limit of 10 stripers (seems all I have is old memories) at my
homepagewww.FishWisher.com.

Stripers to me are just one step above a carp. They ruined the Lake Mead
fishery, and the Colorado River downstream. Stripers............ yuck..
Tell me. Was there largemouth bass and crappie fishing BEFORE the
stripers?
And how was that?

Steve

P.S.
You must be a lonely anti-striper guy; stripers are one of the most
prized game fish in the country. They're fished for in both Atlantic
and Pacific, most estuaries and hundreds of rivers and lakes. Hundreds
- if not thousands - of guides make millions of dollars taking people
striper fishing. Stripers make up a major part of the sport fishing
industry. Too bad you're missing out on all the fun!

Apparently you have problems comprehending the difference between salt and
fresh water. *My comments are that IMNSHO that wherever stripers have been
introduced, they have become the dominant fish, and the other species have
become only prey to them, including those raised at taxpayer expense in
hatcheries and turned loose for stripers to prey on, like in the Colorado
River system between Hoover and Davis dams. *The damn econazis have a
problem with every new species being introduced, yet they signed off on this
one. *I'd rather have a root canal than go striper fishing. *YMMV, and
probably does. *I like to go to small lakes and streams, and fish for fish
that have been living there centuries under the same conditions. *Not some
artificially created pond to house what some fisherman thinks everyone else
should fish for. *And stripers only taste one peg above a carp, too. *Guides
make millions taking people striper fishing? *To me, that's equivalent to
the pulmanilla drivers in Mazatlan that will take you to a Mexican whore
house. *A way for fat lazy old men to be taken to something they could have
found themselves if they weren't so fat and lazy.

Holy ****, the Harry of the fishing crowd! If he doesn't do it, it's
not worth doing. If he doesn't own it, it's not worth owning.

Poor Steve. Poor Harry. Always on the prowl to stir the pot and ****
into the wind. Some folks just don't get their hands dirty in the
great outdoors often enough!

Go boating! Go fishing! Take momma to the lake for Mothers Day today!

eau contraire. I went fishing twice last week. And people can eat snails
(or stripers) if they want. I was merely stating my own opinions. Last
time I checked with NetNannyCentral that was okay.

Steve - you are so right! It's Ok to state your own opinions - but
must you denigrate what others choose to do? Sure, you can, but must
you? It sure doesn't look good on you...
