So I know that there are striped bass in my pond but I'm not exactly sure how to get a hold of them, do I use a different lure or just go for a different are, I'm not sure, a little help?

I suppose your talking about landlocked stripers. I've only ever caught one before with a worm and it was only about 8 inches. They get confused with white perch and white bass a lot. However it should look like this...

If you would have accidentally added another p to stripers this thread would already be 3 pages long.

No not on this site it's kept very clean.

It happens all the time, possibly because spellcheck doesn't recognize stripers as a word. It usually goes something like;

 

"What's the best bait to use for strippers?"

 

"I've heard dollar bills work well". 

 

 

I've never ran into stripers in a pond but wipers on occasion. They're very tough to catch in a pond setting. My best luck has been on jerkbaits, traps, but most of all livebait or livers.

Yup, probably XD

Stripers are pigs and will eat just about anything that a lmb will take. Try a weighless super fluke or a jerk bait.

Stripe bass are not pond fish, too small a body of water to support pelagic predator fish. It's possible you are using a local name for another type of fish.

Thats what I was thinking. Stripers are a big water/ocean fish.

In MD Striped bass are somewhat commonly found landlocked. However the stripers in MD are closely related to white perch. That may be the case but it could also be a striper or perhaps a crossbreed.

I've always had good luck with white bucktails.

The stripers we have here are not related to white perch, they are a strain right out of the chesapeake. The ones we catch here in the reservoirs go in excess of 40 lbs. With more then a few guys believing there are some in there 50 to 60 lbs. also they're not all that common, we have two reservoirs that have a breeding population of stripers one is piney run and the other is Liberty reservoir. Here is a pic of the ones we catch, by the way this is not me nor is this my fish I just wanted to show the size of what we catch.

Ok thanks for clearing that up. I always thought that they were very similar. Perhaps it's just a wiper or something.

Stripers are all the same. Even if they're landlocked, they're the same fish. But they can't live in ponds because the oxygen level present is not good enough nor is the food supply adequate. They'd eat everything in the pond. For that matter, white bass and hybrids can't live there either unless the water is aerated and there's a lot of food (shad). Adding bait might be necessary.

There are some people stocking ponds with hybrids (wipers) nowadays and they can be bought from hatcheries. But those people have a pond dedicated to hybrids. They aerate it. Hybrids can't reproduce, so restocking is necessary. Hank parker did a show where he took his grandchildren fishing at his own ponds. He had a hybrid pond where he talked about doing this.

Striped bass, white bass and white perch are all cousins of the temperate bass family. Genus: Morone. Stripers grow huge. The others are small to maybe 2 lbs. White perch are the smallest and have no lines. Do you have a picture?

 

Stripped bass X White Bass = wipers (hybrid stripers). 

 

They are F1 sterile...cannot reproduce. I’ve seen one caught in a golf course pond in MD. Someone obvious stocked it there. 

there are landlocked stripers, found down south, the carolinas, nevada, calli, alambama, etc. I cant give you info on landlock stripers only ocean stripers where i live
