Somebody get out there and hook up with some of those fish! I would love to see them.

We used to catch them in Lake Marion S.C. back in the 80's. Never cared for eating them but they are fun to catch.

Yeah I just want to catch them and then throw back. Keeps me out of the pool halls.

Fresh water stripers always taste worse than salt for some reason...when based in NJ, we'd catch them right in the surf and man were they good...they DO chase menhaden and that is one of their primary forageswhich could be why some say they taste like blue fish...the big blues on the east coast are VERY oily and that is from the menhaden as well...you can almost make it a sure bet that if theirs a bluefish blitz going on, stripers are directly under the blues getting the pieces parts that drift down to the bottom...
