- Fall Fishing on Lake Hickory in North Carolina for Striped Bass ( Striper). We were Trolling for Striped Bass ( Striper) using Captain Mack's A-rigs with Planer Boards and Leadcore Line.

Good day catching! That’s a lotta fish in the boat…

That was a huge one
Great video!!!!!
Thanks Shane! Glad you enjoyed it
Nice work guys! Beautiful sunrise too!
Thanks buddy can’t wait to get you out there with us!
@@merceroutdoors You gonna need a bigger net soon! lol
Excellent work guys. I grew up fishing farm ponds for bucketmouths and learned that pretty good..."lakes" are different. Past few years I've been focusing on saltwater fishing. Found a good deal on a 24' pontoon with a 125hp 2 stroke on lake hickory and here we are. This RIVER has tested me, totally different environment. Thanks for showing us how to do it, I'm watching closely 😎.
Live to fish, fish to live
+No_Step_on_SNEK …Thanks for watching brother ! Hickory can be tough on all of us, just keep at it and it will all click one day!
Good stuff!
Thanks buddy
On em big time!
bruh I was Tired lol! It was awesome though
Nice day right there....I've never tried Hickory but I've wanted to for a while now. I'm only an hour away so it's definitely going on the list.
Thanks! It’s a beautiful place! It can be hit or miss sometimes but worth it nonetheless!
Y'all slap tore em up!
Thanks buddy
Awesome! I troll similar rigs on Buggs Island but you definitely have a better quality of fish! What are times you like using the I-Pilot better than the big motor? Definitely subscribing!
I usually start with the trolling motor when I’m trolling up to around 1.7 or so. Much more than that it eats the batteries too fast lol so I will use the big motor with trolling plate. I can still get down to 1 mph with the trolling plate on the big motor. Sometimes even at 1.5 or less I’ll use the big motor, if I’m not getting bit in the trolling motor I believe the sound of the motor can trigger bites on some occasions, no proof lol just start trying different things when it’s slow
Hey David, Do you remember who I am? Next time you plan on coming to Hickory give me a shout. Great videos.
Are you Dennis’s Boy?
@@merceroutdoors Afraid so LOL
@@derekward6794 that’s cool man it’s been a long time!
@@merceroutdoors yes it has
How many colors with lead core are you putting out?
2-3 depending on how deep I’m seeing the fish. I try to be just above the fish I’m targeting. We were 20-25 ft deep last week most the time
@@merceroutdoors thanks great video. Each color is how deep down?
How deep does it get when trolling at 1.5mph with mini mack?
+K Tee
At 1.5 a rule of thumb for the mini is 15ft at 90ft back, 20ft at 120ft back, 25 ft at 150ft back
Thats without lead core line correct??
@@triplehranch2235 Correct, thats with 20lb mono
What soft plastics are you using
Those are the captain Mack’s
a-rig swim jigs
Which section of the lake is that? Never been on Hickory
It’s kinda mid lake near hwy 127
Awesome day! Nice set up as well. Gotta ask...you afraid of getting your hands fishy? I thought you were gonna lose the big one due to lippin' him with that towel! lol
No not afraid lol, that micro fiber usually gives you really good grip lol. Thanks for watching buddy
In fact I struggle with poor circulation in my arms a lot and my hands go numb. I’ve dropped a lot of fish in the boat so the rag helps me with grip sometimes when I can’t feel my fingers lol
Do you take anyone with you ,I would like to ride along
Hey Bobby it’s usually just l me and my boy or a couple buddies of mine. I’ll keep ya in mind though
Great Video !!! Can’t wait to see more stop over and check me out if you get a chance!
Sure will thanks!
