Summer time Wiper fishing at nite. does it get any better than this. Been having some GREAT trip so far this year here in NJ. Thank you NJ Dept of fish and game. If you've never tried it, get out and give it a try. It's a BLAST!!!!

 Spring and fall are great for striper in SC , but summer is awesome at night ! Between 22:00 and 02:00 are best , the big boys come out to play ! Nothing in the world like landing a nice size striper !

We enjoy the fight. lite tackle spinning rods. sometime before the summer is over, I want to get one on the fly. That would be a blast!

That sounds like a hell of a fight there FnF! Keep us posted on your progress . A fella I work with went a guided striper expedition and the guide insisted they use light weight rods with only 4 lb test ! They talked him up to 12lb but say he caught a mess of them on 4 .

Had a great nite Wens. got 5 Wipers and 3 cats, 2 nice 4 lbs. Wipers were not as big as we had been catching. biggest was 4 lbs. How big are the average Wiper in SC? State record in NJ is 16 lbs. something, most of ours are around 5-6 lbs. had a 7 or 8 up to the boat last year and lost it. Rookie guy on the net, I think he was more excited than I was. He felt really bad about loosing the fish. would have been nice to boat it, but it was still one hell of a fight.

 Man , thats heart breaking when you get a fish to the boat and can't net it ! If a wiper is a hybrid bass the state record here is 5.4/8 lbs. caught on lake Murray  , where I go . The record striper is 59.8 lbs caught in lake Hartwell SC . I plan on breaking that one soon ! Along with the state record for largemouth bass, 16.2 lbs( Lake Marion) and Longnose Gar, 25.6 lbs (lake Murray) I came pretty close to the Gar record this spring , was actually stiper fishing and hooked one at @ 20lbs . Our state record for white crappie is also on Lake Murray but has been standing since 1949 at 5.1 lbs . Pretty long time !
