They re-produce and have lived thru a drawdown to next to nothing at Silverwood. Brown trout dead, Rainbow population near to dead, had to re-establish the rainbow population, but the stripers are back without any re-introduction, not to mention LMB's (they co-exist?, incredible LMB year), wait forgot to mention the bluegill explosion this year.
They will survive no matter what.
Shad very limited at Silverwood for the last few years, this year I'm seeing balls, they will find a way....
man...quit your crying! . .... yea thats not koo, and wrong if you have more than your limit or 8 rods. But if you don't do something right then or tell them in there face..... Don't cry here about it, do something. chill out bro this is a good time fishing website.
murder, death, killOriginally Posted by jrockn
I would like to have a lake with nothing but shad and stripers.
Anyone fished skinner 20 years ago when 20 lbers
were common?.
If we all were to release the big ones and keep the smaller ones
the population today would have been stable.
Big stripers eat small stripers.
Why do you think skinner is over runned by minis?
Will the same thing happen at dvl?
Keep it up and time will tell.
As for lmb and sunfish.....i see a very healthy population at skinner
and dvl.
I release 99% of my catch...what about you.
we have plenty of bass lakes. Why not have one with stripers and shad.murder, death, kill

Im game for that.
Are you a biologist? How do you know that cuz people took too many big stripers that's why there are supposedly no more left at Skinner?
Do some research or talk to a biologist before you start spewing information on here. Hell, do a search on this forum. People have posted over and over again, including biologist, that we need to KILLas many stripers, big and small, as we can. They are WAY overpopulated in the lake.
It doesnt take a biologist to study the water my friend.
When i first moved here in 1997 ive fished skinner 3 to 4 times a week
year round.
I use to see groups of 15 to 20lbers commonly chasing food at ramp one.
I dont see that anymore.
I must admit...when dvl
opened ive been ignoring skinner now.
I only fish it a few times a year.
Im not on here to rant or rave or point fingers at anyone.
This topic is really more about poaching than some kinda biology
that i wish we all could resolve by doing our dutys.

There are biologists on this forum encouraging people to ignore striper limits and kill everything you can? That sounds fairly irresponsible.
From what I have learned, California has now listed Striper as a nuisance fish in fresh water lakes and reservoirs. Correct me if I'm wrong kwin. They will devour the shad and eat themselves and everything else out of existence. That is why the Stripers at Skinner are small and skinny. I have caught many Bass in Skinner that have huge heads and long skinny bodies. A sure sign of under eating. Stripers are a marine fish and should have stayed that way...KILL KILL KILL MR. Stripey...murder, death, kill

good to see a few are able to see outside the box.
When dvl was first under construction it was designed to
become califorina finest lmb fishery.
The big goof up is when they turned on the water and somehow the
stripers are in the lake.
So now the biologist are saying kill kill kill to prevent the over populating of
a bass lake.
They screwed up and its to our advantage to keep the lake prime with stripers.
I dont think at all, not for a second that the stripers will effect the bass population.
There both agressive preditors.
Look at skinner...i catch more bass than i do stripers.
