Stripers in Southport
Message:
I stopped in southport harbor on tuesday . Saw alewives running up the dam. Pretty sweet.Heard they showed up there a couple weeks ago. Fished with a 7" yellow bomber that night off the bridge and got a small schoolie and 1 that was around 27". Missed around 3 or 4 strikes. Some kids got a keeper around 30" or so on a frozen atlantic herring. Tried there again on friday night 2 hours with live eels, bombers and plastics got nada. Went to the launch @ the mouth of the harbor after that. Had a couple schoolies follow me in but no fish there either. About to walk down there to give it a shot , but this afternoon there were no alewives running, so who knows if the bass will be there. Will report later tonight on this thread.

Just fished real hard for 3 hrs. Threw only bombers. Ended up missing 2 fish on the hook set that surfaced and spit the lure. Had countless "bumps" which must have been herring i ran into. Saw stripers blow up on the bait at least 7 or 8 times. There's always tomorrow to try again. Maybe I'll throw a bait line out next time.
