New Texoma striper record

[jhoppis]

yup i was told only briad line and after getting on top of fish they put a trolling motor half in and half out of the water at slowest speed they say it will keep the fish under the boat IDK???

Yes beating the water works great. We started doing it in 2010 and it stayed quite until last winter when it got out we actually pulled a patten on the blade and we are having it built by sunshine bait tanks.

Years ago I knew of guides that would beat the water with poles to stimulate the stripers to turn on and feed. This has been around for years.

Ya beeting the water works great but gets tiring after awhile so we made a blade for the trolling motor so that it can run non stop. One we turn ours on in the morning when we start our trips they never get turned off till we get back to the dock. Here is a pic of what we made

Cool! I have a lathe with a milling attachment, and a spare trolling motor. Might have to build one of these. really slow speed, medium, or high?

That should beat the fire out of the water and work wonders. WTG!

We runs it very slow

I have a few sticks of this black PTFE I think is what it is if you guys need it to build a slapper..FREE!

Just buy a blade from academy and take a heat gun to it. That's what we did to our you can shape it exactly how you want it once you get it hot enough

Great advice. Never thought about using the blade.
