You should try varying sizes in the umbrella rig. The ones they use on Long island always have the center lure (the furthest one back while trolling) as a larger size, with the others as various smaller sizes. I've trolled for stripers out of Montauk a few times and the umbrella rigs always did the trick. Of course they used the plastic tubes that are supposed to look like eel rather than swimbaits. I wonder if these stripers out here remember they are supposed to like eels...
