    Default Off topic - Jordan Stripers


    After the crappie spawn is all done I'm making it my goal to put a few Jordan stripers in the boat this April/May. Has anyone caught any over the past couple of years? I know they were wiped out in 2011 but they've also been re-stocking over the last few years. Gonna buy some leadcore line and trolled that whole lake until one gets in the boat.

    Nice. As much as I fish you would think I could at least luck into one. Did catch a 6 pound bass this evening on a 2" minnow, #8 hook and 6 pound test.

    Thanks. I'll be chasing them over the next couple of months and see what I can do.

    Here is the weblink for the Jordan Lake Striper's Club. See where they are resuming tournaments on the lake as the population has rebounded. Jordan Lake Striper Club • Home

    I noticed they had a tournament coming up. That's a great sign they are starting to have tournaments again.

    I caught one around 6 pounds on a white roadrunner bucktail in front of the ramps at Vista Point two years ago under a school of shad.

    There is a good population of stripers in Jordan. Its been a quiet fishery the last year or so, but have been told 8lb fish are a regular occurance. 10-12lbers are not uncommon. Not many people targeting them.
    Full day 1/2 day or evening Striper/Crappie fishing trips available at a very affordable price for
    Lake Norman, Badin, Wateree, High Rock.

    If word gets out that a few are being caught then you'll see every boat on Jordan going after them. I just hope to enjoy catching a few but probably won't announce it.
