Striper Fishing and Observations




I have been striper fishing the past week at Lake Murray. I have spent a lot of time both fishing and learning my Lowrance electronics. The side scan and down scan continues to amaze me as I see exactly what I have been fishing deep over the years. I am also spending a lot of time looking for rock and brush off the bank for the future. I have a video made but it is too large to upload so I am learning how to upload it to YouTube and will link it at that time.

Striper fishing has been hit or miss for me. The sunny days when I normally would not catch them I have done well and the cloudy days have been a struggle. I have not caught any big ones but have had  a blast catching the non keepers. One thing about the Mercury 4 Stroke. I have been amazed at how little fuel this engine uses. If you ever go chase the birds when striper fishing then you know how much gas you can run out in a day. 18 gallons has been tops so far, usually 12-14 gallons. Just another reason to select a new Mercury!
