The summer heat will wind down soon and the

Striper regs change Oct 1. Anyone who would be interested

in fishing the lake in late August and thru September just contact me.

Where's Buggs island? Is that in the ocean? Oceans and large lakes make me throw up.

Buggs is also Kerr lake on the NC and VA border,

It's big as NC lakes go but you wouldn't get sick

Stripper fishing is great there as well as the hunting.

Sounds like fun, Buzz. Will the strippers take a fly?

Yes, a 2 or 3 inch Grey and white streamer,

2 rods would be necessary, one with floating and one a sinking line

No dummy. Stripers won't take a fly. They might take a leap now and then, but they ain't gonna take to flyin'.

I'm not much of a fan for full-sinking lines because it's hard to mend them.

Saltwater fish, right? What depths are they normally found at?

You're lost. Kerr's LAKE . . . fresh water. Google it. "Sinking Lines" are not mesh nets.

James,

On Buggs stripers are schooling fish, main thing as always is to find

a feeding frenzy, it's really easy if you know what to look for

but it doesn't happen all day everyday

Most of the time if a school is found feeding, a regular floating

line will work, generally your in 15 to 20 ft of water

If the floating line doesn't connect, the sinking line usually does,

Lay it out , count to 3 or 4 and start stripping
