The Croaker Hole would be about a 20 mile run from Juniper. It can excellent this time of the year when the water is hot. The Croaker Hole is a big underwater spring and the stripers gang up in the cool spring water. P.S. I don't know how it is now but years ago the "strippers" gathered at the Silver Glenn on the weekends and holidays, so there's that. Have fun

Some buddies caught 25 or so stripers at Salt Springs a couple of days ago. They were using small wild shiners and they would hit the dead floaters just about as well as the live ones.

Just heard another striper report, a friend of a friend had 14 over 10lbs at the mouth of Juniper Run. I'm pretty sure he was using wild shiners. In my experience the best time to catch them is right at dark and a couple of hours after.

On the Illinois River there are all sorts of stripers, white bass and hybrids. We used to catch them on dead minnows better than live. We used to say “the deader the better”
Don’t know why

Strippers generally want a live "minnow", stripers aren't so particular. 😉

I know of no stripper looking for a dead minnow.
