I have a .8 acre pond stocked with healthy amounts of bluegill, redear, FHM, golden shiner, largemouth bass and hybrid strippers. Pond has healthy water, supplemental feeding, decent structure, all looks good. Catching everything with ease with the exception of the strippers. I hooked into one the other day at early daylight hours, lost him and can't seem to catch them. I know they go deep during the warmer months, so maybe its just seasonal. Pond is in Sugarland, TX. about 8' deep average, max around 10' deep. Please share your experiences, good or bad with catching hybrid strippers in small ponds (types of bait, technique, etc..) as the couple i have caught are pulling like crazy and i want to increase my catch rates. Thanks to all in advance!
