Stripper Pits

[NFC]

Yes, those are the pits. The one off to the right is where I have been going for the last few weeks. There is also another pit off to the left that I'd like to hit some day after I get my boat legal and water ready. It's quite large and down the hill. There are a couple places to launch a boat and yes you are correct about needing a 4 x 4. I have been hung up on back into the path ways. There are several dips in the path and 4 x 4 tracks, just be very careful going back there. There are several pits back in there of various sizes. When I went this past Saturday I hooked into 13 bucket mouths. One of my best days yet. Now granted, only about half would been keepers but it's the thrill of the fight I'm after. I thank the fish then God for puttin that fish on my hook, otherwise I'm not that good. HA HA HA
If ya go back in there, best of luck and happy fishing.

I took a trip back to the pit this evening to see what was still available to fish in because I'd heard that Peabody took all that area back over and started strip mining again. So far the only change I've noticed is the heavy equipment roadway that cuts through that area. I've not been able to get back in there for a couple yrs because of the ATV's and 4x4 that tore up the roadway. I can finally get back to some of the lakes again and it doesn't look to get back to again. Yeah, it's a little rough in spots but I didn't have to put my truck in 4 wheel to get where I got to.
May have to take the boat back there this coming weekend if I get time.

Praise and Glory be His.
