When you step aboard one of our well-equipped fishing boats, you're in for a treat. We've got all the top-notch rods, reels, and tackle you'll need to battle Clarks Hill's hard-hitting stripers. Our guides know this lake like the back of their hand, so we'll head straight for the striper hotspots. You might find yourself drifting over underwater humps, trolling along deep creek channels, or casting near rocky points - wherever the fish are biting that day. And with only one group scheduled per day, you'll get our undivided attention to make sure everyone's having a blast and catching fish.
Wondering how we'll be fishing for these lake monsters? Our guides are masters of multiple techniques, and we'll use whatever's working best. You might learn the art of down-rod fishing, where we'll suspend live bait at just the right depth. Or maybe we'll break out the planer boards for some precision trolling along underwater structure. If the surface action is hot, we might even throw some topwater lures and watch stripers explode on them. Don't worry if you're new to these methods - we'll walk you through every step, from baiting hooks to setting the hook when a big striper hits.

Clarks Hill Lake is famous for its monster striped bass, and for good reason. These freshwater bruisers can grow well over 30 pounds, and they fight like their lives depend on it. Stripers are open-water predators, constantly on the move as they chase schools of baitfish. In the cooler months, you'll often find them suspending in deep water near the dam or in major creek arms. As the water warms up in spring and summer, they'll move into shallower areas to feed, especially early in the morning. One of the coolest things about stripers is their aggressive feeding behavior - when they're on a bait ball, you'll see them absolutely blasting the surface as they corral and chow down on shad. Hooking into one of these beasts is an adrenaline rush you won't soon forget!
There's something special about Clarks Hill striped bass fishing that keeps folks coming back year after year. Maybe it's the heart-pounding strike when a big striper slams your bait. Or the satisfaction of working together as a team to boat a trophy fish. For many, it's the chance to spend quality time with family and friends, making memories that'll last a lifetime.

Stripers are the kings of Clarks Hill Lake. These powerful fish typically run 20-40 pounds, with some topping 70. Look for them near structures like drop-offs or following schools of shad. Spring and fall are prime seasons, but you can hook into them year-round. Stripers put up an incredible fight, and their sweet, meaty fillets make for excellent eating. They're structure-oriented, so target areas with moving water near shorelines. Pro tip: Use live bait like herring or shad to entice the bigger ones. The thrill of battling a big striper and the potential for a trophy catch keep anglers coming back. Whether you're after a wall-hanger or just want to tangle with a hard-fighting fish, striped bass deliver an exciting day on the water.
