Thread: Any striper fisherman?

Been having some pretty good luck where I regularly fish. Limited out two days in a row. Averaging around 12#

Cowroy, nice catch ! Looks like you have their pattern nailed down . What lake are you fishing ? I fish Smith Mountain and Claytor Lake in VA for stripers from time to time .

Nice fish! We used to fish Lake Cumberland a lot growing up in KY. My favorite summertime bite was night fishing big topwaters along submerged structure and hearing the blowup of a 20lb fish on your redfin before you could ever feel the line get tight. That rush will never get old. I'll make it back one of these days.

Fishing Cherokee Lake. The bite didn't pick up last night till about 9:00, and then it was fast and furious.

I have got to try that. I know there are great fish in the river and I need to get in on it. Nice fish man.

that was his first striper. it is a thrill to fight those fish in less than 3 ft of water but it just don't seem right using the trout for bait. i have heard of several 40+lb fish caught recently. and a couple over 50.

we need to get together and go after them but it's deer season now. fishing is on hold.
