I have some bad luck here lately an have not been able to fish since early fall an if god willing i will be there tomorrow but i was hoping some one can point me in the direction of where i might find some stripers an info would be greatly appreciated thanks an good luck
Nick,
If you hear anything, let me know. Me and the wife have been wanting to get back there and catch a few stripers, but no one that I know is catching any. Reelsmoke is a very good striper fisherman and fished all day Saturday. From one end to the other with live bait and tried trolling and has yet to catch a striper. I have heard of one striper caught in the past 3 weeks. Tough right now.
I found some but just couldn't get them to take it went through some nice schools an still they would only scare the bait i was so mad by the end of the day i wanted swim down there an put the hook in there mouth by force lol an whats so bad moved found bait an two big schools an still same thing
Tough right now. I think I am going the other way this weekend and go to SC and try it see if I can break up my skunk. lol.
You gents want to know a secret to striper fishing? Something that not even the "how to" books publish that helps put fish in the boat? Ready for this.....:
When you are live baiting and you mark the piss out of them and not getting a bite, try knocking the bottom of the boat. Call it crazy, but it works more times than not! You can thank me later. Good luck!
It's called "Thumping" Pete. I've been catching them thumping, when no one else was catching them on live bait, for 30 years.
Thats why we call ya Thumper right? :)Quote:
