Jad2t,
Fishing the lower caney for stripers is a whole different ball game than chasing them below old hickory dam. If you're using anything less than a heavy action rod, strong level wind reel, and stout (I use 50 lb power pro), you'll be very lucky to land one over 20 lbs. They have ideal water (temps and oxygen) and a ton of cover that they use to their advantage.
Pm me on what you're planning on using and I will give you what help I can. My friends and I have been chasing them since June, and I've landed nothing but 20+ lb fish, and my friends have got some up to 49".
