My buddy picked me up Friday at 4:45 AM in Mt. Juliet we headed to Cordell Hollow Dam for some Striper. Generation was a lot less than the weeks before. We put in and the water temp was 54°. We rigged up 4 rods with gizzard shad (my buddy caught on Old Hickory) and started drifting with the current about 2.5 mph. I was casting topwater out of front of the boat. Unfortunately no takers or no swirls with me casting a pencil popper. I did throw in A-rig for a while too, no takers. We motored up to the damn after a while, caught some skipjack and the tied off a tree with 4 rods out for about an hour and a half but nothing. Other boaters that were there had the same result not even a bite. One guy said his buddy got a 50lb a few days ago other than that we hadn’t heard any good reports. For what it’s worth there’s a “not so good” Striper update from Cordell Hull.
