Strange Striped Bass

Featured Replies

I've been fishing for striped bass near a discharge and caught a couple but how do you guys think I could catch more? I've caught them on poppers and live lining whit perch. Anyone know any lures to get the bigger ones to bite there's a lot of smaller ones? They nip on top the water all the time but miss the popper a lot

Don't know a thing about freshwater stripers, but I have caught many saltwater ones.  Surgical tubes have always produced good stripers, whether trolled or casted, single or umbrella rig.

Try large paddle tailed soft swimbaits. Especially the larger 5 1/2" size, like the SK Shadalicious. Rig it on a weighted swimbait hook.

A lot of time the bigger fish are under the smaller ones being lazy waiting for the small guys to injure a bait that falls down to them. I used to smash them on the storm 4" swimbaits. Count it down thru the small top water feeders and see if that gets you a better quality striper!!

Swimbaits, lipless cranks, jerkbaits, and bucktail jigs are my most productive striper baits. Underspins like the sworming hornet and a fluke trailer work great when they are suspended
