Lake Strom Thurmond is located near the border of Georgia and South Carolina, and is no secret its one of the finest fishing lakes in the Southeast, offering both cold and warm water fisheries. Bob will be joined by guide William Sasser of William Sasser’s Guide Service and see if William can do his magic on the large freshwater stripers that hold up in the deep clear waters of Lake Strom Thurmond. This is must see fresh water fishing at it’s best.
We fished Lake Thurmond for strippers in the spring probably 20 years ago and stayed at Hickory Knob State Park. We lived in Wisconsin at the time and came down maybe in March. We had a ball catching both huge strippers and hybrids too. Now we live in eastern SC and want to revisit that great time. As we remember it we threw cast nets for blue-back herring and slow trolled them under a small balloon. Can anyone tell us the best time to go up there and try our luck again? thank you for any help,
