Wateree 12-7-16

A nice day on the water with light wind & fish biting.

Started out about 8 this morning from Colonels creek. Didn't have to go far before we saw birds working. At out first stop, we caught 4 on a-rigs & about 6 on live shad down about 24'. After a while thing got quit so we headed up river in the fog.

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!

since im all out of northern pike from mn and high demand from friends, i plan on trying striper for pickling, just picked up 3 bottles of port wine today.

good going Charles whole lot better then we did today we found plenty
of fish but they just didn't like what we had to offer. used same thing we
used yesterday but mighty few takers

Thanks Charles for the post. Glad you got a few before they are gone!:yikes Hope they are there the next time I get to go.:fish

No lead core! Just casting & counting them down to around 20'. We only caught 4 on the A-rig. Too many bites on live bait.
