Go to striper lure.....

[tglass]

For this time of year i would go with a bucktail jig in white with a curly tail trailer. I would use 1/2 oz and 3/4 oz. If the fish are up on top you can catch them and if they are a little deeper you can catch them. Like APB said this is the most versatile striper lure. It also helps that you can really throw them far to reach fish surfacing.

Well, I got a $100 gift certificate for Christmas to the local Gander Mountain store here in Bowling Green, so I went today. Ended up browsing for hours trying to find some of the things mentioned on here. Gander had a pretty limitted selection, but I ended up with some white doll flys, a couple heavy jigging spoons, a bill dance spitting image crank, and I looked really hard at the Strike King "King Shad" lure. If it hadn't cost $19.99, I might have gotten one. What do you all think of the King shad lure? Anyways, I'm gonna order 2 of those Gizz 3/4 lures online. Sounds like they work. Thanks again for all the input guys. I can't wait to get out!!!! Have a good day.
