hey TH,
if i'm not out fishing for salmon or steelhead you'll find me fishing for stripers,i'm not sure if your fishing for them in fresh or salt water,if you let me know i can get into ways of rigging for them,as far as lures the best i've ever used are the pencil popper and hair raiser,but i mostly use bait, good baits;anchovies,sardines,threadfin shad,herring,pro-cured herring,pile worms,grass shrimp,and every once in awhile ghost and mud shrimp,but the best all around trophy striper bait i've ever used is live bullheads,if there's any thing else i can help you with let me know

p.s.FISH On!!!
