How in the BLEEP are you all catching Stripers on these Sardines from Seafood City? From what I witnessed yesterday they are more of a alarm system to tell Stripers to run the other direction as fast as possible verse a fish catching machine!
I watched them all day on my Humminbird come up take a sniff and go the other direction. I only had one all day that took a little taste then run.
At one deep spot I had one down at 65ft and the other at 85ft and watched the Stripers time and time again come in and check out one then go to the other and proceed on there way away from my bait.
Set-up wise nothing different from how we would fish Threadfins... We do extremely well with them when I have the energy to find and catch 'em.
We got 4 Striper dinks trolling cranks in the shallower waters... Just enough for dinner for Madi and me and that was it. Plus 4 LMB where caught when we got tied of trying to catch Stripers we would buzz into a know good hole and pitch some Senkos for a break from the boredom.
