That is real tough when you don't get touched with live shad. I remember reading about a decent striper(topwater) bite going on at the upper lake but when we fished it, all the stripers were feeding on micro shad fry or something real small. The stripers were on top alright but not biting anything, we just followed them around the lake and tried everything we could think of, no action at all.

Thanks for the reports, hope things are more in your favor next trip,good luck.
