24 pound striper w/live herring this morning off the new SCE&G beach
on Lake Murray this morning.

Nice fish - 80 feet of water and not hanging on structure.
Interesting.

Very different is fresh water striper fishing. *Stripers still like
structure, but it seems they like to hang further off by 20/30 feet
unlike salt water stripers. *I don't do much live bait fishing, so
this has been quite an experience.

Need to explore the lake more - maybe tomorrow just do a scouting trip
and travel the shore line.

Having a blast.

That's how we roll in the south! As for their location, because of
temperature differential, they'll seek a depth that pleases them.

I hooked up with a pro guide yesterday at the ramp - tons of
information and he was kind enough to allow me to shadow him to spots
on the lake that seem pretty productive. He had an extra passenger,
so I took him on board my boat so it all was good.

I've learned a lot in the past few days including the care and feeding
of the blue back herring - that was really interesting. Didn't even
think of things like ammonia and Ph balance in the live well - the use
of rock salt and ice was something new to me too. I think I'm going
to have to rerig myh live well with carbon filters and change the
recycle system a little. The next few days of looking into this will
be fun.

By the way, if you ever get here to fish this lake, stop at Lake World
near the dam - guy is very informative, friendly and is not shy about
sharing information. Decent prices too.

I was using a drop shot technique to get the herring down - I normally
don't drop shot a lot preferring more natural techniques with
artificial lures - this live bait thing has been an experience.

One thing of note - the FLW bass tour is here for the big tournament
in another week and the pros are having a tough time with the black
bass. Black bass aren't cooperating - all deep and filling up on
herring. The pros are having trouble adjusting.

You take extra good care of those Herring. They all deserve it.

Have a great time.
