Lake Powell Fishing Help

Dubob -- If you are comparing bass and walleye to strippers.....I don't know what to say.  That's just....well....different?  I don't know...
But stripers are pretty dang good.  If you get rid of the red strip off them, they are pretty dang close to smb and lmb.  I'll give you the walleye and crappie -- those are pretty hard to beat, by any standard.

There is no question that individual food preferences differ greatly.  I have eaten the meat from just about every fish that is considered edible in the state of Utah.  For me and a lot of folks I know, stripers are way down on the preference list.  And for me, the same can be said for wipers and white bass.  I'm just not into any of them.  Way to much work involved in the 'proper care' to obtain edible fillets.  Perch, walleye, bass (LM and SM), catfish, bluegill, crappie, salmon, splake, tiger trout, and several others came way before stripers.  Suckers, carp, and northern pike have very tasty meat as well when 'properly cared for', but I don't have the desire to go to that much work to eat fish.

But far be it from me to tell anybody what fish to eat or how to prepare it for consumption.  I know what works for me and mine and stick to what we enjoy eating.  Stripers ain't making it to my dinner table any time soon.
