Bryce_Fishin24 Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 What's up guys! Just thought I'd ask what's y'all everyday striper lure? I only have rat-traps as off right now but I haven't had to much luck, only here and there... Buts what a go to lure that you guys feel confident or what do the stripers usually care for? And what colors as well of that lure. Thank you have a nice day (: Quote
MassBass Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I think striper fishing is more about location and timing. I like rattlebaits to (silver black back is good), but without location and timing it won't work. Quote
VolFan Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 White or bone colored spook. Or white buck tails with a white curly tailed grub. Or as big a Roostertail as you care to throw. Don't get me started on swimbaits... Quote

The only location I have is shore for now :/ and timing usually early in the morning and sunset have worked best for me. Quote

Super User everythingthatswims Posted July 1, 2015 Super User Posted July 1, 2015 White super fluke on a jighead. It will catch them when the water is in the 80s and it will catch them when the water is in the 40s. Any clarity Quote
Super User the reel ess Posted July 1, 2015 Super User Posted July 1, 2015 If topwater and they're busting bait, a big popping lure like striper delite to get their attention. If they aren't chasing, but you still know they're near surface, a walking lure. Keep in mind, they'll break line and take your prized lure sometimes. A cheaper "topwater" is a big, weighted popping cork with a 3/4 or 1oz bucktail below. This makes it easier for them to take the lure in too because they aren't sucking air with it. You'll also lose fewer and have an easier time once in the boat with this rig because there are no trebles involved. A striper topwater blowup is heart-stopping. http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=striper+delight+lures&view=detailv2&&&id=8E547E71ADA47577F46EB785FF2CF500CF4E63D9&selectedIndex=0&ccid=bSQliHKv&simid=607993290413510358&thid=JN.0GqoKS6iWxIkdGPi420mIw&ajaxhist=0 If below the surface: Bucktails, big grubs, big cranks, flukes big Rebel jerbaits, bass jigging spoons. I've caught them on live minnows, Shad Raps, Norman's DD22, Roster Tails and spinnerbait. White or natural shad is a good presentation for shad. Accents of chartreuse, red or orange can work. Firetiger works too. If they're really biting it won't matter much because they eat all fish. The last striper I caught was on a chartreuse Rebel Wee Craw with 6# mono. But the best presentations resemble fish. This is all assuming freshwater. Quote
Nice_Bass Posted July 1, 2015 Posted July 1, 2015 I only use 4 lures for the most part and in this order. 1)Hopkins jigging spoon in all water depths worked fast and casted or vertically if located in a concentrated area- always replace the hooks. 2)lake fork flutter spoon when fish are in shallow or have driven bait to the surface. always replace the hooks. 3) preacher style jig 4) conquistador swimbait jig head 3/4oz with a berkely flat back shad rigged horizontal- mostly thrown in the fall. I only throw lipless traps from around Jan-March/April and then mostly have two rods rigged with the spoons and one with either jig depend on situation and shad size. I am from a boat so I find fish but only fish for those fish if there is shad as that is the only way to maximize. If you are fishing from shore find long slow tapering points that have current or wind. Quote
Catch 22 Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 The flukes and bucktails already mentioned are hard to beat. The 6"Storm swim baits and likes there of , are a major player around here in the salt ,particularly at night. BTW, Iv`e known stripers to be color selective at night, thus the need to experiment.

And what colors as well of that lure. Thank you have a nice day (: Is this in salt or fresh water? If salt my number one bait would be fresh clams. Number two would be bunker/menhaden depending on where your from. Use elastic string to hold the clams on your hook better and if using bunker/menhaden and there are bluefish present them use the heads mostly as the blues can't get their mouths around them. Hope this helps. Quote
Super User SirSnookalot Posted July 6, 2015 Super User Posted July 6, 2015 White super fluke on a jighead. It will catch them when the water is in the 80s and it will catch them when the water is in the 40s. Any clarity Catches everything. I like DOA cal jerk shad 5.5 inches, I use nothing but pearl with a red tail. Of all the jig heads I've used I've settled on Strike King redfish jig heads as my favorite. I like the hook size and quality and the bait stays on them pretty well. I primarily use them for snook and tarpon, sometimes for bass, did fish for stripers this past week in the Colorado river, worked quite well. Quote
kcdinkerz Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 When it comes to strippers and hybrids I'll use live bait over lures. Casting a net sucks but man when they hammer your shad and peel off line can't beat that feeling Quote
