I have a friend visiting, avid fisherman, and I’d like to pull up some stripers tonight if possible. I tried trolling last night with no results, but I was unprepared due to a last minute request to striper fish. I saw the crowd around the towers, green lights all lit up, so I assume everyone is bait fishing, correct? Cut and live bait? How do you rig the bait?
Thanks for any help,
Mike.
Well, tie to the towers early after sunset, then did several drifts across in front of them. Used cut bait at various depths from 30 to about 100 feet, no bites. Didn’t seem like anyone else was catching, just fishing. Very nice night, cold beer, good music and friends. Successful night after all!
