Savannah River Stripers

Fished Saturday around the paper mill with a friend from McBee, the larger fish aren’t in yet but still had fun. Caught 6 between 3 to 6 pounds on the large storm swimming shad. Alot of fun in that fast moving water. Should turn on hard towards the end of the month.

Where do you fish in the S river? I have had mixed luck below Augusta

Pump Chump…Wild stripers in SC and GA are not sea bound at any time during their life cycle. They spend the summer months up river and in deep holes in places you would not think to find them. During the fall they migrate to the salt breaks to spawn and remain in the area during the winter months.
If you do some research, there is some good info on our coastal rockfish and how they differ from northern stripers.
