I have been been fishing for stripers on Smith Mountain Lake for around 20 years and has been a member of the Smith Mountain Striper Club for approximately 5 years.  I grew up in the area and have been on Smith Mountain Lake since the lake first filled up.    I attended and graduated from August Military Academy and then served in the U. S. Army.  I have the fortune of living, along with my wife, Nancy, in the Gills Creek section of Smith Mountain Lake.  When not fishing, we operating our own business, Sea Tow, which is a marine assistance company on Smith Mountain Lake. 

We primarily fishes Gills Creek, Blackwater, or at the Dam and fishes with both live bait and artificial.  The largest striper I have caught to date was around 31".  Nancy, like to fish together I will typically cast to stripers on the rocks while Nancy likes to live bait with down rods.

I fish out of my 23' Kenner Center Console with a 225 OptiMax engine, and my favorite time of year to fish is November through January, which the lake is a bit quieter out there
