I have been doing some research on striper fishing in Powell and this is some stuff that I have been able to find. First find the schools on you fish finder. Trolling with spoons or cranks has been a popular topic. With spoons you want to troll through them and then let off the gas so the spoons sink then after a few seconds start trolling again and pull the spoons up through them. Its suppose to entice them to strike. Then there is the ol' piece a 'chovie off the side of the boat and down to their depth (usually on a jig or a spoon). There was also talk about using a fishing light at night to bring in the zooplankton and then gizzard shad and ultimately the stripers. I'm heading down to Powell the first part of may and I'm going to employ these tactics to try and catch a bunch of stripers. I'll let you know if any of them work for me. Hopefully this helps.
