With the striper club info and this site, thanks to Capt. J you should be able to catch stripers year round at the lake.

We charter a trip at least once a year, locals get 10% off ($30)
John was a past President of the club and has finished 3rd or better in at least 40 tournaments.

Looks like live bait is the way to go all year round [cool] if ya can get it.

I got a question do stripers always roll in schools? does it depend on size/age? One time I caught a half dozen dinks same spot one after another fast action figured I got into a school of dinks. Another time lake was really calm n quiet I was just casting cranks for bass (the non striped ones) a nice average size striper nailed it in about 3ft of water. Kept casting back to the same area and no love figured he was a lone wolf.

The big fish tend to be loners but for the most they school in packs. They are like sharks and must keep swimming or find a current. Ever notice the die on a stringer?

So you got one then no love,.....why?
Because the school just swam by and ate your one offering.
If you were chumming you could have gotten a lot more.

Once you get them to bite, keep feeding them. About one handful ever 10-15 minutes.

You can keep them there for hours feeding on your chum.
It's possible to get one on ever cast, without the bait ever hitting the bottom.
