Last weekend, with the water temperature being 37.5 degrees, turned out to be an outstanding time to fish for striped bass with light spinning tackle. Billy, Doug and I started fishing around 1pm and left the water at sunset. Keeping the lure as close to the bottom as possible while moving it slowly was the most productive technique. Z-Man, 4" Scented PaddlerZ along with 5" and 7" Scented Jerk ShadZ in Pearl rigged on 1 and 1 1/2 ounce jigheads were the most productive lures. We landed over 50 stripers up to 27" in waters from 30' to 55' deep. They were all fat and gave an excellent fight.

After this freeze the next place I will be targeting for stripers will be in the tributaries.
