Roanoke River Stripers

Looks like they are going to release a slug of water on the Roanoke.  There are certainly pros and cons of man controlling mother nature…… Increased flows or slugs of water can move fish at the drop of a hat.  It can also make fish feed suddenly and shut off suddenly.  As a pro guide I do what it takes to keep my customers on the best bite possible.  Sometimes it’s jumping in the truck and changing zip codes, sometimes it’s a 20 mile run by boat, sometimes you tie on that lure your customer brought.  You know, the one they haven’t made in 10 years……  As a matter of fact almost all our fish yesterday came on hard baits and Zman that are no longer in production (private stock).  Like I say, anything to get the bite!
