[cool][#0000ff]There will be times when nothing is hitting, but even with muddy water the fish can and do feed. Yes, they are primarily sight feeders, but they are also bottom scroungers. Bank tanglers and cooler filling happy harvesters are removing large numbers of wipers from Willard right now, using nothing but worms on the bottom. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]You can disagree all you want, but other folks are whackin' them right now. They just don't make posts on fishing forums. In fact, some of them are taking home several limits a day.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]First you gotta find 'em...which is never easy. [/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Those who worship stripers and wipers like to believe that they are classy fish with good table manners. The truth is that they will eat whatever is available when they are hungry. There are places in some muddy lakes down south where stripers and wipers are often caught on smelly catfish baits. In one area of the lower Mississippi River I was introduced to stripers with the advice that the best bait for them was "rotten chicken livers". And, they did work better than lures or any of the fresh cut baits I tried.[/#0000ff]
