Spring Striper Run is On




Went out a few times over the Last week and the stripers are active. I caught fish from mid bay to upper bay. There's a mix of bait they are feeding on but it's mostly small bay anchovies. When they're on the small stuff they can be fussy. The only thing I found effective was a 3" cocahoe in either white or white with a blue back with a 3/8 oz jig head retrieved slowly. You have to practically hit them on the head but be patient they will take it. Search for birds working the bait and the bass will be under them. They are also pretty boat shy so sneek up on them from up wind with the motor off, if your lucky the bait will use the boat for cover. Check out the video compilation below.
