Trolling? or can you cast and reel them in? Im not exactly an experience fisherman except for being an offshore lobsterman a few years ago. But anyway, I have yet to catch a striper and I really want one this season. What do you all recommend using for the upper bay? Thanks in advance.

edited - (but left the strippers part in there) damn i was a googan back then...

Try that swimmer I gave you at night, it will catch, also try bombers, take the center hook out.

MotoX -

Go with live eels, 3 way rig, 6-8 oz sinkers, if drifting keep bouncing them off the bottom, if anchored, just leave it there. Use lighter mono/floro for sinker and heavier mono/floro for eel (longer length of line for eels). then WACK....

Definately work them slow for bass. Personally I stick to sinking poppers......Hab's Squid or Super Strike littlenecks work the best IMO.

Unfortunately, da bloos will eat them too.
