Striper Fishing Lower Saluda River (bank fishing)

Went out to Saluda river to catch striper from the bank this morning. Caught a nice one but couldn’t manage to get anymore to commit. Will be doing more river striper videos soon. Stay tuned!

Where is a good spot to fish from bank. I want my kids to catch a decent striper? Thanks for the videos

[@TheEricInman]

There really aren’t many that are easy to access. The ones I use I kayak to usually.

[@KevinRapkochFishing]

Cool video, brother! 🙂✌️🎣

[@TheEricInman]

Thank you for watching!

[@dollarsncentsvideo]

What did/reel combo are you using? Looks like the one I’m using…..

[@TheEricInman]

It's a Penn Pursuit 2 4000 reel on a medium heavy ugly stick GX2

[@dollarsncentsvideo]

@@TheEricInman that’s my reel! I bought a combo from academy about a year ago

Is it legal to traverse the bank of the river up to a certain footage in proximity to the water? My son and I went to the boat access across the Saluda park but felt like maybe we should go exploring.
Also what was your set up for this catch? Thanks for the post!!!

[@TheEricInman]

It is legal as long as there aren’t no trespassing signs. Some people do own property on the water so be aware of that. I’m using a gx2 ugly stick with a penn pursuit 2 reel size 4000. I’m using a sort of Carolina style rig. I explain it in my other video titled “monster striper on saluda river@

Nice post! Did you ever caught them by topwater or swimbait at this spot?

[@TheEricInman]

I’ll go out on my kayak sometimes to do that but you can at this spot also

[@LJera8]

Are places like this accessible through the river walk or do you have to walk through the woods?

[@TheEricInman]

Some neighborhoods border it so you could do that. Candi lane more towards Columbia has plenty of access as well.

[@rockynash1193]

what kind of bank rod holder is that? how can i get one?

[@TheEricInman]

I’m not quite sure what’s it’s called. It’s mainly for surf fishing because you can really only use it in sandy type areas. I got this one from a tackle shop near the beach here in SC.
