driving home today from dropping boy at school and figured i would stop at old spot to see if stripers were around. wasnt su

re what to expect since i havent been there in while. Well as i pulled up i see water boiling with school of fish slamming some bait fish. Threw out 1/4 jig head with tranlucent jerk bait and fish on. landed 4 on 6 casts and as soon as it was on it was over. fish were small but fun on my light rod reel. I was fishing by foot wando. good to see those stripes again. love the reds but good to see my old friends. great 20 minutes…glad i stopped…Ya neva know

Dang it. A story like this is what keeps me going to my favorite spots in the winter when I know I’m not going to catch anything but hoping maybe something like this might happen.

That’s cool.
I caught several one afternoon just south of Winyah on the ICW only ones in saltwater ever in 30 years of fishing.

How many of you guys have caught them in saltwater ?

I guess these are the river populations like the ones that stocked Santee?

About 5 years ago, I used to catch stripers off our dock on Folly River fairly regular in the fall months. Haven’t seen one in a few years.

Same as stump I got into a school of stripes in Bushy and it was a blast. After that I always keep a topwater plug at the ready.
