Wateree striper 11-2

Few weeks back at the social at HR, met up with a few guys that were very interested in my method of striper fishing. After talking for weeks, Mike (aka "team Rookie") finally set the date for a run to wateree for a half a day.

He and Cathy got a true experience on what to look for since this was my first day on wateree this year, and havent heard any reports to amount to anything.

Well we picked away at them all morning in less than ideal conditions. Full moon, heavily stained water, clear skies and wind.

Once all said and done we wound up with 15 striper and 4 cats and headed in right around noon. Mike says he is ready to sell off his bait tank and cast nets. No need for any of that any more!

Absolutely enjoyed it with you 2 today. Thanks for being such good "students".! [emoji1787]

Anyone else interested in learning how to catch them without needing live bait, let me know. It will only get better the next few weeks!Attachment 387855Attachment 387856Attachment 387857Attachment 387859

Great report Pete and the pictures add to a successful day! Yes, we tend to not listen and get in trouble often. But we are good Dawggs to have around. This report makes me want to give up my deer chasing and go fishing.

Now we know what cokes to use , next to figure out where to fish and we have it.
Thanks for the report, I was just talking about your skill at finding fish on Saturday with CWright

Hey, that's my deer you sneaky rascal! :Rofl :Rofl Good job, he is a dandy of a deer.
Pete, you are right I may as well go fishing. These deer do have me pegged on the clear cut I'm hunting. I got no way to get to my stand without alerting them to my presence. Here's another picture of a different deer and time of day! I'll get one soon if I stay with it. The rut is kicking in and one will slip up! :popcorn

You got some nice bucks there Dawg. Stay after 'em.

Yep Pete, I told MT the last time me and you were both fishing Wateree, I fished my guts out and boated 4 total. Later that night you posted a pic with like 20 in the bottom of the boat.

And I was using your rigs. lol.

Those A rigs work like a charm. I guess the boat speed has to be right on the money to be successful. I know Remus and I caught some and had a blast last year. I guess I better get my deer and get on down there for some of that fun. :highfive

Sometimes all it takes is wiggling the worm the right way!

A bit of finesse is all it takes to put a few in the boat!

interested, sent you a p.m!

Left ya a voice mail yesterday.

Pete, are you pulling those rigs or casting them? Curious is all...

I am pulling them

They were biting well this weekend. I posted pics in nc side.

no voicemail here. I'll message to make sure I gave you the right number. Thanks!

Hey Big Dawg, you should take ofishlbizzness along on your deer hunts so he could at least be useful helping you drag 'em out of the woods, tried to get him to go to school with Professor Pete on how to catch fish and as usual he skipped class. Pete is ONE of THE BEST guides out there for sure. give the man 10 stars across the board.

I know Pete's a good fisherman and guide. Ofish needs to be on the other side of the woods so his scent will run me one or two. I got a four wheeler if it's to big to drag. LOL By the way ofishlbizzness is no slouch when it comes to fishing!

Hey Big Dawgg, if you shoot a deer today, you could load 'em in your boat to get him home. I'm thinking about putting one of Pete's rigs out in the front yard and troll some. can you say, "rainy day" boyz and girlz :fish

I drug two of his rigs from nc down white store road to work at Pageland this morning. No stripers, but got a dead dear and old ford pickup on the side of the road. Thought I had a bite about state line, but I think it was that little old lady going to the mail box and stepped on my line. lol. It has been coming down here today. Looks like all the lakes will be a mess by Saturday.

It for sure put it down yesterday, I'll bet the fish were even looking for a dry spot. Should have gone to Ofishlbizzness house and sat under the carport in the back of his boat and threw a line out in his back yard. what the heck, fishing is fishing, better than work rotfl
