thats right Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 the truth is cjbs2003 some bass tournaments i fished last year had bags of 5 and 6 fish limits with weights of 20lb to almost 30lbs and numerous times. Thats a good bag on any lake there definately here just hard lake to figure out and alot of bait sometimes you can watch bait come up for a mile and graph schools football field long for real. The lake just doesn't get the credit it deserves in my opinion. I personally have caught fish like this and stripers are just awesome. I have caught over 400lbs of stripers in a single morning know lie. The problem is being consistent here it does really take alot of time and equipment but it can be a great place to catch big fish of all species. Even the locals here especially in bass fishing have all figured out certain times of year to show there strengths some guys good spring some summer and fall putting it all together is what frustrates people but I like to keep learning. The introduction of milfoil and other tipe of grass along with the elwives have really changed the ball game its been quite a number of years now but as a role of thumb thats what all game fish are keying on. If you stick to weed fishing for bass it will help but there are other patterens in carolina fishing and spoon fishing that alot of times will show you bigger fish. Hard bottoms are key and green weeds, sometimes with wood mixed in is awesome. One more note you find a color that works on one part of lake not necessarily going to be your best choice else where if even a choice at all.

This lake is deep for the most part. So try to find area's where there's deep water next to some shallow water. I'd check around the James Creek/Aitch area.

John Goss Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Fishballer you mention points and ledges. Can you please be more specific as to where your good points and ledges are located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Goss Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 can someone point in the right direction for good points and ledges on Raystown. Launching from Aitch so preferably in the mid lake area. Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
