The more the merrier!

[@stevenkimbrell8796]

First time watching the video of you striper fishing I enjoyed it you had quite a few nice ones even in the mix with a spot and the largemouth hey a fish has a fish I enjoyed it thanks for sharing

[@FCPFishing]

I actually like the Stripers better than the Bass, but really just love catching fish.

[@buythedip6130]

Man, to consistently get out on the lake especially in the recent cold weather we've had and catch em like you do shows the passion that comes through every video and every hookset with that hehehe chuckle. love it.

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks for watching! I love to get out on the water!

[@PHFishingBiking]

That was a awesome day!! the birds were popping the bait fish you know what the hot spots are, Like you said the birds are a great indicator to find fish.

[@FCPFishing]

The birds are a big help in finding Stripers!

[@chaunceydavis5290]

I see you went to to the Lake Lanier Gym today, and had a GREAT workout 😊, njoyed it

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks Chauncey! That was a fun day!

[@boatsbeats]

Mannn you are slaying them. Much respect. You are proof that all the time on water adds up. Legit fisherman!

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks! I'm heading out again this morning!

[@nealsmith9063]

You found the stripers!

[@FCPFishing]

It's about time!

[@carloscotto937]

Happy New Year my friend! What a great video! I know you were thinking of me here when you made that video I love stripers I shared this video with my friend for being the first of the year. What a great video you made. Also, keep it up my friend Carlos from Chicago

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks Carlos! I appreciate you sharing my videos, it helps my channel grow. Stay tuned for the next video, I catch them again and get some even bigger ones!

[@konoiii]

Way go get em Dana!! I really enjoy your vids and learn a lot. Thanks. Happy New Year!!!

[@FCPFishing]

Happy new year! Thanks for watching!

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

Right off the bat I’m reminded of fishing for Stripers in Long Island Sound…. Find the birds = find the bait = find the Stripers. Don’t usually see you fishing around other guys but after the cold spell you guys endured I guess when the weather warms up so does the fishing pressure. Some great Striper action Dana, what a blast.

[@FCPFishing]

The striper guides crowded me out on that day, and I eventually left because there were too many people. I was the only guy that caught anything evidently. I heard them cussing me as I reeled them in. Thanks Don!

[@bucktalesoutdoors7566]

@@FCPFishing 😂😂😂 making the Professionals look bad, I love it !

[@FCPFishing]

@@bucktalesoutdoors7566 They came in and crowded me out, so they get what they deserve...

[@TatauMac]

Nice work! Love it. Coldest days of the year usually produce the best striper fishing.

[@FCPFishing]

The nastier the weather, the more the stripers like it.

[@Captain-Mic]

Dana, that was the best striper fishing episode I've ever seen. I thought the topwater action was over since fall is over and it's January now. Thanks for posting, and for all your tips. You rock. Happy New Year my friend.

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks James! Wait until you see the next episode!

[@chaunceydavis5290]

What a way to start 2023, huh

[@garylukas3476]

Appreciate the videos. New subscription for me. Love fishing for anything that bites

[@FCPFishing]

Welcome aboard! Thanks for subscribing! I love catching them all, I even do a couple videos a year where I target Gar! Stay tuned, there are some great videos coming up!

[@karinichelson4624]

You had a great day! Fun watching you catch them, Happy New Year!

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks Kari!

[@kellymoore4517]

Dana, taking them stripers out behind the woodshed, you were throwing what they were eatin'! Glad you finally got some redemption on the water! Take care.

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks Kelly!

[@rogerbarrios8614]

Great video again. I love the stripers, too. Hey….how are you feeling these days? Strength back? I hope so and hope you have a great year.

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks Roger! I'm still having some issues, one of my lungs is collapsed and it causes me to be out of breath a lot, plus a couple other things. I am hanging in there and hope 2023 is a better year for us all!

[@getore100]

Great vid! It would have been too tempting for me not to throw a top water. Boy is that fun. What type of line do you use and pound test for stripers?

[@FCPFishing]

I use the lightest line I can get away with, they are pretty line shy in this clear water. I use Gamma fluorocarbon, 12 lb test for the swim baits. I catch a lot on a spinning rod and a hair jig, for that I use 8 lb Gamma.

[@getore100]

​@@FCPFishing Yup, I use Gamma as well but the polyflex. GREAT line.

[@ninjamatt7540]

Are you using a swim bait with an underspin? Awesome fishing. I went this morning at the spot your at. I won’t mention where it’s at. But that is a honey hole to me. Keep up the great content I enjoy watching.

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks for watching! I don't use an under spin, just a plain white jig head. They are keying in on smaller bait right now, so they are kind of tough to catch. That area is a good area, but it gets hammered too much. I caught them again today on a different part of the lake.

[@schmattz_custom_lures2105]

Amazing day. Congrats!!

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks Matt!

[@KeepItBENTOutdoors]

On fire out there! Nice content 🎣

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@blindsquirrel]

Wow! You did do very well out there! The guides were rolling in. Maybe I should have braved the scrum and come over there in the kayak. Instead I went to the point where it gets really narrow and then over to the community dock before trying to catch up with you on the shallow muddy point. Not a bite for me 😐 still good to get out there.

[@FCPFishing]

It got a little ridiculous when all of the guides came in, but I never saw them catch a single fish! Thanks for watching!

[@BeeBroBeeBro]

I love this video

[@FCPFishing]

That was a great day, I loved making that video!

[@kenburk7732]

Great Day! Happy New Year Brother.

[@FCPFishing]

Thanks for watching! Happy New Year!

[@cheetoz6902]

The river channel swings in on both those outer points and is shallow on 1 ride deep on the other

[@FCPFishing]

I know it well.

[@jtb2180]

new to fishing ,how do you rig you bait cricket?

[@FCPFishing]

When you thread the swim bait onto the jig head, don’t put it on perfectly straight. Make the tail stick out to the side a little. Thanks for watching.

[@jtb2180]

@@FCPFishing Thank you!

[@bryanthefishermanbaker4961]

Happy new year

[@FCPFishing]

Same to you!

[@chuysxo]

What part of the lake is this

[@FCPFishing]

I'm always on the north end.

[@swagvids2911]

Location? Balus creek?

[@FCPFishing]

I won't give exact locations, but I will say it was in a creek on the north end of the lake.

[@JesusismySavior1958]

like to have more details on your lures~

[@FCPFishing]

I was using a simple Keitech style swim bait and a 1/8 oz jig head. Very common lure.

[@benholliday5526]

I’ve heard that the birds will tell you where they are.

[@FCPFishing]

Yes they will. Learning how to read the birds has helped me catch a lot of fish.

[@Bihrossi]

I think you need a bigger rod 😂😂

[@FCPFishing]

Maybe so!

[@cheetoz6902]

Your in a ditch Dana. I know that ditch well

[@FCPFishing]

Story of my life, always in a ditch.
