waynem Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I've used my wife and kids to catch stripers but not my mother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bassturds Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Nope! I use a lot of other lures to catch my stripers! 10x cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elhoward622 Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 Striper don't need anything crazy to get them to eat IMO. I catch big ones on 9" bull shads, a-rigs, magnum sized top waters, big swimjig-Swimbait combos and big flukes. Unless you just want to catch one on a mother to say you did it, I would use baits that don't cost $400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davepikey81 Posted March 9, 2014 Report Share Posted March 9, 2014 I think stripers are a little misunderstood. They can be really spooky fish..especially in larger sizes..they can be very very picky eaters aswell. I use alot of big glide baits where i fish. Big top water and wake baits also work really well. One thing i feel alot of people for get in swimbait fishing is research. Learn and study your targets behavior, spawning and how they see colors. For example did you know that a striped bass is one of very few breeds that can actually see the color red even in extreme low light conditions?? So what may look like a trout to us may not even closley resemble a trout to them. Just some food for thought... i would say throw what ever you like at them. A mother, a hinkle a hiroshima... just remember to have fun doing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgee Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Everything works for striper lol. But my favorite is a 10 or 11 triple trout burning fast on stock day, or deps on a medium retrieve, and of course 8 inch punker sunrise or at sunset. Those have never failed me.

alexgee Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 And they will hit hudds but usually on stock day or couple days after but they seem to bite them if you retrieve them a bit faster than you would for lmb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
