Hey everyone, I'm Chad and just joined this forum after hearing about you a while back. I recently pre-registered for the SML Mafia tournament, so hopefully you all putting it on will let us fish in it.
My wife and I bought a place on the lake a little over a year ago (Blackwater lower side'ish) and it took me a while to try out the striper fishing. I finally "gave in" after hearing/reading all the hype about them, and after catching my first 6lb'er about 200 yards off my dock (and yes, I was in my boat), I've been trying my best to find more and learn as much as I can about these fish. I haven't been that excited about a fish since my first walleye as a kid back in the midwest. My PB SML striper, well actually it's my dad's, is an 11.5 lb., 31 inch'er ... same general location off my dock. A buddy of mine, from the midwest (who has 'reluctantly' agreed to come out to be my tourney teammate), has bragging rights on me though. He caught a 13 lb., 31.5 inch'er this past spring ... a little further away from my dock, but not by much! Doesn't seem like I have to venture too far away from home!?!?! I may figure out this entire lake in the next 20 years or so!!!
Looking forward to getting to know some of you here on this forum and meeting others during the tournament (11/11/17). We'll be bringing our items for the troop gift boxes if that's still the plan ... great idea and a great cause on a great day!
See you around on the forum/lake!
