Saltwater Striper Fishing
1

The stripers seem to be really turning on near the towers in Lake Murray. I have been trolling with lead core and catching some nice keepers the past two nights in a row. Most action is just before sunset. The fishfinder is lighting up as they rise to feed with the sun setting. On Wednesday night I marked a school of bait and fish so large that it fooled the fishfinder into thinking it was the bottom. Good luck yall!

Usually 6 colors on one rod and 8 on the other. Have been using a downrigger with a bucktail+trailing worm also between 35-45 feet. I have been looking for the fish on the sonar, then trying to pull just above them. There have been some huge schools of bait out there.
