Uninterested Fish?
Saw about an hour of breaking stripers chasing down wee bait fish right at our feet, off a pier. About a dozen of us tried many ways from chunk to lures and not even a glance. What gives, not enough of a match the hatch deal? Is that the way it goes sometimes? Any thoughts welcome.

Teasers will work as well as sinking(let them sink and work them to the top) .5 and 1 oz. poppers. Hab's seem to work well for me.
