Put in the time.

Learn as much as you can about stripers and their feeding habits.

Put in the time.

Scout the area you're going to fish at night during the day.

Put in the time.

Learn as much as you can about weather, wind and tide.

Put in the time.

Become one with the environment when you fish---notice subtle changes in wind, water movement, etc.

Put in the time.

Pay attention to what you're doing---never crank a reel handle mindlessly.

Put in the time.

Protect your eyes during the day. Wear sunglasses. Every great fisherman I ever knew had good night vision and could see things the average guy couldn't.

Put in the time.

Read the water---surface water behaves a certain way due to wind, and bottom and shoreline structure.

Put in the time.

When fishing moving water, plumb the bottom with a sinker to get a feel for irregularities in the bottom. Learn where there are drop-offs or isolated boulders, that fish use as amb-ush points.

And above all else--PUT IN THE TIME!!!!
