Smith Mountain Striper Club

Welcome to the Smith Mountain Striper Club Website

The Smith Mountain Striper Club would like to welcome you to our new 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.

May Member/Guest Tournament Results

Our 2nd tournament for 2013 is in the books - a nice gully washer signaled the end to the day's fishing but we still had a good turn-out overall. 29 fish were measured in with 11 anglers bringing a 2-fish total to the check-in. Congrats to Chris May for one again winning "Big Fish" with a nice 33" striper.

Hope you will all join us for our next Member-Guest tourney on July 20.
