hey stripers182 have u heard of jordan lake in NC? ive been there for largys and crappies but not stripers.. theres a couple of 30+ pounders that came out of there. wat should i use to catch stripers there with a simple baitcast combo for largys?

[stripers182]

@trophyfisher13 Oh yeah, I know Jordan well. Casting smithwick rattlin rouges on points in April and May are your best bet with just a bait caster for sure. In winter you can jig under schools of dying shad, they are easy to find near the ramp at ebanezer ramp. That lake seems to run a month behind others in the south. It starts in March on other lakes.

haw can i tell how far my bait is out are u using something that tells u this on ur rod ?

[stripers182]

@AARbassboss If you notice up on the rod there is a line counter. you can get them from Bass Pro. Little square box 12 inches up from the reels.
