We caught our first striper of the summer run on june 8th this week. The fish was caught by Amanda Parks from Atlanta, Ga. Now I need to make a comment about this trip. This trip was set so that Amanda could see the upper section of the Hiwassee by her coworker Mike Logan. According to a reliable source this was only the second time that she had ever been fishing. Even though she felt sorry for the fish she still managed to hook them with only the slightest bit of sympathy. So, without any more delay here’s the stats. This fish was taken on a light spinning tackle and weighed a good 26lbs on a boga-grip. The look on her face was priceless.
Hopefully the striper run will be a good one this year. They are in the upper sections of the river now. I just don’t know how many have made it up so far. I have only spotted one other fish than the one we caught, but given how quick we have started on them this year I feel that it’s safe to safe there’s going to plenty more moving up in the river as the summer goes on.
If your interested in a striper fishing trip on the Hiwassee this summer give me a call or send an email and we will discuss the details and set up a date. We are the only outfitter/guide service that targets stripers on the Hiwassee. I have been actively fishing for stripers on the Hiwassee for the past five seasons. Last year wasn't the greatest for numbers of fish, but we did land our biggest to date. I personally weighed two fish over 40lbs last season and hopefully i will have some more big ones this year as well. These are not small fish and you will work hard for every one you catch, but it’s a lot of fun. We will be fishing for stripers through the summer up until October in the upper river. After that it’s back to the lower sections of the Hiwassee to finish off the chase.
