Had a great time fishing aboard the Beba Re with our guide Wes Wood.He put us on the fish early and we had a limit befor lunch.
I'm a long time resident and fisherman of Lake Martin and I strongly recomend Wes for a guide.

Enjoy the posts...

Lake resident and love stripe fishing, (second to crapppie)..

After a bit of research about gave up on catching/keeping shad, but spoons and stripes work with this recreational fisherman.. Down riggers required, or how about jigging?

Couple of more feet of water and the bass boat is back in the boat house.. come APCO put the plug in..

Tyler,
Thanks for the kind words - I had a great time with y'all as well. That chunked-up fried stripe is outstanding as is baked or grilled.

Burke,
It is very difficult to control the depth on trolled lures without downriggers. Good sonar with a Navionics chip in combination with downriggers is a very effective technique.

AJsDad,
I'm looking forward to our trip. The stripes may hold in the Wind Creek area for the next few weeks, but they may move into the creek mouths depending on the weather. We'll hunt until we find them.

BTW, so far I'm not booked this weekend.

Tight Lines!
Wes
