The largest portion of my stripers are caught on jigs. Also throw some subsurface plugs and catch on them. That said, I'm still a topwater junkie
Spring time, at night, some good topwater action on swimmers. Very quiet on the lake, right up against a rock cliff, you can just barely make out the V-wake of a small swimmer coming oh so slow on top BLAM!!! it gets hit
Right up against the rock like that creates an extra loud echo. Real
