Out from the mouth on June creek, I marked some good schools. Dropped live shad down to close to the bottom in 24'. Here we caught the rest of our fish. Most were about 5 to 6 lbs, all on live shad.

Quit about 1 PM with 13 stripers & 4 cats in cooler. We threw back 4 more small stripers.

Nice catch Charles thanks for sharing.

You found the spot, we will you using lead line or regular mono?
Thanks for the report

Can you tell a difference in the taste from the stripers from Wateree vs another Lake?

I surely taste a difference in striper from wateree vs another lake. Every person has that 1 friend who says "when are you going to bring me some fish." They usually get wateree striper from me. However i have a unique way of making them. Pics will be upcoming once i get down to it.

Nice catch!
