Striper Fishing 101

Alright, let's talk tactics. When it comes to Lake Murray stripers, we've got a few tricks up our sleeves. We might start the day trolling with planer boards, spreading out our lines to cover more water and entice those big schools. If we spot some surface action, we'll switch it up and start casting – nothing beats the thrill of a striper smashing a topwater lure. We use a mix of live bait (think frisky blueback herring) and artificial lures, always matching what the stripers are chasing that day. Our boats are fully rigged with top-of-the-line electronics to find the fish and the best gear to help you land 'em. Just remember, when that rod doubles over, hold on tight – these Lake Murray stripers don't go down without a fight!

What Anglers Are Saying

Don't just take our word for it – here's what some happy anglers have to say about their trips with us:

"First time I've used a guide and it was a great experience. This was a special trip because it was my Grandson Drew's first time striper fishing. We started out a little slow and Danny decided to try another spot. Man, we got into some really good size stripers. Drew had a big ol smile while fighting each fish. Danny was a great fit for us and I highly recommend!" - Michael

"Danny is an amazing guide, got us on the fish and had an absolute blast!" - Andrew

"Danny always catches fish. I've fished with him five times now and counting. Danny does not disappoint. Highly recommend." - Chance

Target Species Breakdown

Striped Bass (Stripers): These are the crown jewels of Lake Murray, and for good reason. Stripers in this lake can grow to impressive sizes, with 20-pounders not uncommon and the occasional 30+ pounder making an appearance. In the fall, they start schooling up, chasing bait and providing some of the most exciting topwater action you'll ever see. Come spring, they're gearing up to spawn, which means they're aggressive and hungry – perfect for anglers looking for fast action.

These fish are known for their powerful runs and stamina – when a big striper hits, you'll know it. They'll test your drag and your arms, often making several strong runs before you can get them to the boat. The thrill of battling a big Lake Murray striper is something every angler should experience.

Stripers are also known for their excellent table fare. Their white, flaky meat is prized by seafood lovers, making them a great "catch and keep" option (within regulations, of course). Nothing beats a fresh striper fillet on the grill after a successful day on the water.
