After resisting the temptation for years, sticking to only LM and SM, I decided to give in and try striper fishing. I have a 17' Carolina Skiff rigged with a couple of depth finders, a good trolling motor, 4 rod holders, rods, reels, and tackle all suited for the task. Over the past 2 years, as late as this past Monday and Tuesday, I've been on C-land trying to catch my first striper; that's right, I've been out at least 12 to 15 times and have yet to catch my first one. Up to this point pride/stupidity have kept me from reaching out to those of you with the talent/skills to catch striper, but the lack of action has finally beat me down. I need help. I usually either down line shiners at various depths around the mouth of Indian Creek or Lilly Creek, troll big hair jigs w/plastic trailers or fish bottom w/shiners. I don't have a down rigger so when I troll, I use 1 oz. to 4 oz. sinkers and rig up carolina style to keep the jig down or use dipsey divers/jet divers to keep them down. I feel like I'm doing the right stuff but as I mentioned earlier, I have nothing to show for my efforts. I going out again Saturday and I'm looking for ANY advise that might lead to a striper wetting my deck. Thanks in advance.
