If you want to try them at night, look for bluff walls where the river channel comes in close to the bank. red fin, jointed thunder stick, sliver, and bucktails are the preferred lures. You want the lure to hit within 2 feet of the bank, preferably closer. You can get in pretty tight to the bank if you keep the trolling motor on a very low speed and make casts parallel to the bank. Alewifes should be come up around 11 PM or so, stripers soon to follow. If you are not hearing bait, hit another bank.
