I know that guy, and I know the reservoir he's talking about. Someone I know that fishes that reservoir regularly never caught or heard of any stripers in there. So I guess it's not going that well. But still a chance? From what I understand he doesn't "transfer" any big ones just the small ones too.

Highly illegal to transfer fish from one water body to another as per NJF&W from what I understand.

As I remember it the only successful transfers were from the Santee Cooper reservoir. Others failed. This is from a very old memory.

Awesome fish man! I’m dying to get out there but time is super limited right now! Gotta love the river Stripers!

Yes, we fished there for them !

There are others now, I believe Raystown Lake in Pa. is one of them .

Not only that, but these fish were far short of legal size!
