Striper fishing is very addictive! How well do I remember my first trip to up the Oconee River in pursuit of a fish that would eventually take me all over the United States to fulfill the addiction. Had no idea there were freshwater fish that could be so mean!! These amazing fish can be found everywhere: the legendary migration up East Coast off Martha’s Vineyard, the true “River Monsters of the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers, to our very own Striped Hybrid Bass Mecca, quietly lying between the multi-million dollar homes of Lake Oconee...and everywhere they are, thats where we’re gonna be!
If crappie fishing were a religion, then January, February and March would be the High Holidays on Lake Oconee! Without exception, more huge crappie are caught during these months on this lake, than anywhere else in the country! Patrons from all over the United States make their pilgrimage every year during this short span of time and are rewarded with bountiful slabs of goodness......ranging in the two to three pound category. Ok, enough with the religious metaphors, I think you get the point.
