Welcome to the Smith Mountain Striper Club Website
The Smith Mountain Striper Club would like to welcome you to our home on the World Wide Web! It is our goal with this web-site to provide timely and useful information regarding the Club as well as the striped bass fishery on Smith Mountain Lake for both our existing and prospective members as well as the general public. You will find some sections here which require a password - these sections are for Club members only - we'd welcome to have you as a part of the Club and gain access to this content. However, we still want to make other useful information about Striper fishing and the stewardship of our fishery available to the general public so look for lots of other useful material here as well. Should you encounter any issues with the site (broken links, etc), or if you have any suggestions on how we can make the site a better place for striper anglers, please drop us a note via the Contact Us page.

January Member-Guest Results
Chris Coley with one of his striper catches
Congrats to the winners of our January Member/Guest Tournament. Conditions were not ideal with heavy rains on and off all-day, but 8 of 20 registered participants braved the conditions and turned in fish. The artificial-only guys out-fished the Open Class this time, including having the biggest individual fish - 2 at 32.25 - too bad they did not enter the Big Fish pot!
Remember, in 2014 we have a "drop your lowest tournament" rule, so even if you did not fish the January tourney, or did not yet enter the Series, you can still do so and fish the remainder of the 5 tournaments this year and compete along side your fellow Club members. Hope to see you on the water in March!
Full Tournament Series standings can be found here.
