Hello Fishguts,
We have had some fun fishing near a herring creek and letting a basket of live herring float out into the area we were casting our own live offerings. Every now and then we would yank on the line and get the "herring in a basket" all worked up. There were plenty of large openings in the basket for the scales to fall through and between the sparkling scales and the frantic fish vibrations, we had pulled in a large group of hungry stripers. It was sort of live bait chumming and it worked!
Have you ever fished Elephant Butte Lake for stripers? I understand there are some dandy fish in that water with a lake record of 54 pounds.
Mike
