Striper Sniper once again has donated multiple packs of 25pk soft plastics to be given out in this year's event!
We thank you for your yearly support and donations to our event!
I can pretty confidently say that the majority of the artificial pulling competitors in the event will have some sort of striper sniper merchandise on board!
If that's not you, its not too late to stock up on product! If you order, dont forget to use the coupon code "Norman" at checkout for an additional discount!

We are in the works with several LOCAL companies for donations/prizes for the event and have some more announcements in the week's to come!
Additionally, if anyone out there is wanting/willing to donate any prizes, merchandise, gift certificates to your local business, please don't hesitate to reach out to Peter Malec, or Russell Brown with any items/ideas!
Keep your eyes out on here for additional info to come!

How old was it? Drop your guesses below! We’ve got a video coming out soon where the NCWRC biologist is going to help us age some High Rock slabs! I can already tell you I missed my guess on how old this bruiser was! Full video should be out in the next couple days!

Sharing a post in behalf of our very first Brilliant Fishing podcast guests (Nick and Sara) who guide up in the NC mountains that got slammed by Helene:

As we continue to reflect on the impact of Hurricane Helene, our hearts go out to our neighbors in Western North Carolina. The resilience of this region is unmatched, and while the response has been remarkable there is still work to be done in rebuilding this region stronger than ever.

If you’re wondering how you can continue to support, here are a few ideas:

1️⃣ Donate to Local Nonprofits

A few notable ones include:
BeLoved Asheville - belovedasheville.com
MANNA FoodBank - mannafoodbank.org
Samaritan’s Purse - samaritanspurse.org
NCCF Disaster Relief Fund - nccommunityfoundation.org

2️⃣ Volunteer Your Time

A town near and dear to our hearts, volunteer opportunities are available in Lansing, NC for those looking to lend a helping hand. Email [email protected] for more info. (For donation information in Lansing, email [email protected]).

3️⃣ Travel Safely and Support Small Businesses

Many small businesses that rely on visitors are still recovering from the storm, and they need your support now more than ever. To learn more about what areas are open for travel (or how to shop small online) check out visitnc.com/western-nc-recovery

What’s the weirdest catch you’ve ever had? This photo is from a couple of years back, we were long line trolling for crappie and pulled up a transformer. 😂

If it wouldn’t be too much to ask, Clark, go ahead and get yourself something real nice 🤣🎣

Thankful to Terry in the Badin Lake fishing group for sharing this photo, there were several names of spots that I had no idea of. If you all have similar type maps of High Rock, Tuckertown, or Tillery please share them below!
