Anybody seeing any stripers caught? They were starting right before I started deer hunting but should have turned on with the cooler weather. This weekend is probably filled with hunting still but might go next.

Hopefully Remus and I will make down to Wateree next week also. I have been hunting way to much and the deer need a break from me!

Gun season opens up here in nc Saturday. Missed a nice 8 point with the smoke stick two weeks ago. He was a piece out but I thought it was doable. When I checked yardage with rangefinder after the miss, it was 232 yards. Bit far for my 30 year old muzzleloader. lol. Tough for me to get out during the week. It gets dark about the time I get home. May take Monday and Tuesday off to hunt. Yall keep culling them till I get a chance. Big Dawg you use a gun or just jump down on them with a knife!

Caught 11 before the wind blew us off the lake. Never had more than one on at a time. We need a good solid week of some cold weather to get them going. Surface temp climbed to 63 out in the channel. Just my opinion but I believe the best is yet to come.
Poor man thank you for your report.

Live bait ???
Charles Pete normally pulls plastics on his Albama rigs
All artificial. I wacked them last week as well but smallet class. The 2 trips ive made ive trolled circles around live baiters and put on a show.
Im a firm believer that there is so much bait in some of these lakes that these fish will eat something different when presented correctly.
For those wondering, the birds are starting to show up. There was a slight moment of schooling at sunrise for maybe 10min and that was it.
Thank for the info. I hope to get down there this week. Need a change from catfish.

when I passed by Pete, they were so busy with the rods going down, I swear I saw the dog reeling in a couple. But he was nice enough to call and tell me where he was at and get my butt down there. thanks a bunch Pete, you the man!
