Shane Watson Guide Service Report. The topwater striper fishing has been on fire this past week. Early morning and late afternoons have been best using Spro Dawgs, Shore Blue Spooks, and freelined bluebacks. The blowups on these baits have been amazing. I've had several 20-25 striper mornings lately all on topwater and freelines. These fish range in size from 5 to 15 pounds mostly. This report is brought to you by Shane Watson Guide Service, Hammond's Fishing Center, and Carolina Skiff Boats. Good Fishing.
