Seeing, Believing but not catching
OK. Here is my situation. I fish mostly chunks of herring/macs as well as whole dead herring. I have had some decent success lately in and around a local harbor catching fish around 40". My interesting problem is that I am SEEING (while chumming around floats) some simply HUGE stripers that are coming up and gorging themselves on the handsful of chum I occasionaly toss. I swear that some of these fish are 4ft long. Occasionally a schoolie or smallish keeper will grab the piece of chum with my hook imbedded. Since I know that these cows are there, I am looking for an alternative method to entice them. I have little acess to live bait but there are lots of small pollock around. Any suggestions on an artificial that may fool them in clear water that is often shallow? How about a live eel? Might that work on a gravel type bottom with little in the way of rocky structure?
Thanx in advance for any insight/suggestions
