This is the time of year that all striper fishermen/women dream of. Under the right conditions you can expect to get your limit of stripers. Ample bait is available to those that can cast a net and several outlets around the lake (Norman) are offering shad, trout and other live baits. Approx. two hours after sunrise the stripers quit feeding (unless it is cloudy) and then is the time to rig up for Mr./Mrs. Whiskers. The cats (Ark. Blues and channel cats) have moved to the back of coves in 6 to 16' of water. Live cut bait is the best bait at this time. The best way to learn a lake and techinques of fishing for fish in that locale is to hire a fishing guide, it is money well spent and saves you time and disappointment.
