Two years ago we were catching 22" to 25" stripers and saying how great the fishing would be in another year or so when the fish would be 30". Now after two days of fishing and catching a lot of fish we're still catching those same 22" to 25" fish. This is not just myself but most friends and people you talk to on the lake. Only three boats at the BISC tournament had legal fish to weigh in.
With all those fish being stocked for the last five years, why have they not grown as was hoped when the size limit was increased to 26"?
The BISC has over 300 listed members. On a beautiful November 1 Saturday afternoon when the lake was full of striper fishermen and the fish are biting there were only (12) boats fishing the BISC tournament. Back when the club was much smaller we would have 20 to 25 boats. Other striper clubs in the southeast USA seem to have a much greater turn out.
Why the lack of participation in the club tournaments by BISC members?
