Lucas Posted January 28, 2012 Report Share Posted January 28, 2012 I didn't think that the saltwater striper's range was as far south as Florida. Is this a freshwater lake fish? I know they're stacked on lanier but never knew Florida had stripers. Awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake35 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yeah these stripes are stocked in the rivers here. They never go out to the oceans just get into the brackish rivers and bays. There only active in the winter since the waters so warm most of the year. When late spring hits the hibernate in the deep holes and springs. There a blast though got 15 so far all on topwater nothing smaller then 6 lbs.

riderfisher123 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Haha! Had to call my buddy the rocket scientist to do it for me. Haha. Thanks man I never thought I would pull a fish that big from florida! You would be surprise how many big bass, catfish, etc come out of the littlest places down here in florida!! Ive caught some of my biggest bass out of a 500x500ft pond! -Rider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake35 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Yeah I've found that out with the bass, I've pulled some hawgs out of tiny ponds. I just never thought I would find such good striper fishing. Its pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All wins imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thebig1 Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Gotta be a good feeling to catch a fish on a bait you made. And a solid fish at that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flaswimbaiter Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 That is awesome, Thats one of the biggest I have seen coming from Florida. I wish we had those down here, If we did I probably wouldn't fish for largemouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
