I'll jump in and say a couple of things. First, it's a good idea to fish under a dock light at night. Besides making it easier to see, the shad seem to be attracted to the light, and of course the stripers are attracted to the shad. A lot of guys also use a floating green light to attract the shad and stripers. And it really is a night game, I've never heard of anyone doing it in the daylight. As far as water depth, again the stripers will be where the shad are, and that will vary. Ideally, a sonar unit would really help, but otherwise see where other fishermen are or have been recently. If you're going through Hanksville on the way to Bullfrog, consider picking up your anchovies there, they're a lot cheaper than Ticaboo or the marina store. BTW, it's now legal to use chopped up striper to chum with.
