Sounds like a blast!
I'm going to a river today that was loaded with Buffalo and Yellow carp last weekend. I may target them...but I'm waiting on natures progression.
Paddlefish, walleye, buffalo, quillback, yellow carp, shad, hybrids, .....STRIPERS! In that order.
They all use the same shoals, and they don't like to hang out together too much--(except the stipers/hybrids/shad).
Watched a guy get his popper anihilated last Friday. The splash was fierce.
Have fun with those big fish.
