Hey Mack, this is the video I've been waiting for - thanks! It's now January, in the midst of a 45 to 25 degree system. Is it worth me taking a little drive down to the dam this weekend?

[@MackinNC1]

Probably not but you cant cant them on the couch. Tks for watching.

[@Jontfs300]

Excellent advice How’s buckhorn dam?

[@MackinNC1]

good at times

[@troyroberts7364]

Hey Mack, is this the dam below Jordan Lake that continues into the cape fear river? If so I’ve fished there many times from my boat and caught bass, catfish, bowfin, crappie, etc. Never any stripers or hybrids. Do I need to be right next to the dam for that? Great video, just finished it, would love to get some more info on how to catch stripers/hybrids from a boat out there

[@MackinNC1]

Hello, you are not supposed to go up to the dam in a boat ...you can't because of a small rapid and the army Corp of engineers has signs on each side stopping boats from going any further up. Also the boats that ignore the sign sometimes get lead chunked at them from bank fishermen. It's like taking a boat close to a pier in saltwater. They will start chunking lead at you. For the Stripers float shad 2 feet under a cork. Cast up towards the spillway and let it drift down ..repeat.

[@troyroberts7364]

@@MackinNC1 Hey Mack, I appreciate the reply big time. Yeah wouldn’t want to get my boat that close to the dam/rocks anyways. Would I have any luck doing the float/cork technique for stripers a couple hundred yards from the dam?

[@MackinNC1]

@@troyroberts7364 some luck maybe but not as much...closer to the dam the better or just below the first drop.

[@troyroberts7364]

@@MackinNC1 thanks for all the info, thinkin I’m going to give it a try tomorrow. Been heading out to the Washington/Greenville area to do my striper fishing the last couple weeks but that drives killing me. Gonna get all different sized minnows on cork rigs and go up near the dam try my luck. Great videos, keep it up

[@stevethedude8740]

Can you fish the lake side of the dam?

[@MackinNC1]

Yes,not from a boat but from the bank is ok....you have to walk down s lot of riprap though.....I got one good spot there.

[@masonschafer5316]

Any skipjack in the spillway

[@MackinNC1]

no skipjack east of the eastern contiental divide.....so if a river flows to the atlantic there are no skip jack.

[@user-mh3nm3wg7d]

How do you get to this fishing spot by land?

[@MackinNC1]

jsut look up Jordan dam rd near Moncure NC. the road dead ends at the dam.

[@user-mh3nm3wg7d]

@@MackinNC1 thank you I thought that this spot was on lake Jordan in Elmore Alabama on the Coosa River
