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.

4H Volunteers Needed!
Summer is upon us and that means children will be arriving at the 4H Camp and looking forward to spending some time fishing off the banks / docks of Smith Mountain Lake . This year, as in years past, the Smith Mountain Striper Club is providing volunteers to help these campers in this activity.
We urgently need volunteers to sign up to assist with this activity. Camps start next week and at present we only have one person signed up to help.
Dates which need staffing include: June 4,5,6,11,12,13,18,19.20,25,26,27. This is a 1/2 day commitment - arriving to the 4H Center at 8:30 am to help prep the rods & bait and then assist the campers in fishing from 9 till noon.
If you can assist with this important activity, please contact Macky May at (540) 719-2244, or reply to the Club e-mail here and we'll help connect you with Macky. Please consider spending one (or more) mornings of your time during this month with these 4H Campers to share your passion and the joy of fishing with these children - you can personally help be responsible for instilling a love of fishing in our next generation of kids.
Thanks!

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.
