NC does not stock very many stripers. Why did they hold this event there? Lake Norman has more stripers. Bet more than 2 fish would have been caught. We are going to Clarks Hill and Russell for a few days next week to catch some stripers.

I prefished Wednesday and caught 1 good one 10.7lbs. Fished Thursday and caught 2..one about 7lbs and the other 5.5.
I knew Fridays snow would shut them down. Tournament day got to my spot and to my amazement, not 1 boat in sight....birds working hard, bait piled in there along with fiH. Worked that spot for 4 hrs and left pissed off. 1 catfish and had 1 slam my downrigger popping the clip but never get a hook in it. Damnit! Im still highly disappointed days later with the outcome.
The winners are great fisherman....dont knock on em. They got 2 bites and caught their fish.
Pete, One of my best Striper days was on Norman Thanksgiving week, started snowing about 10am they started biting and we left them biting at 1PM there was 4" of snow on the boat. A long slow drive home
