| Virginia Virginia anglers are blessed with waters that hold stripers, red and black drum, and cobia. Miles of fishable beaches and plenty of piers make the mouth of the Chesapeake the place where northern and southern fish meet. |

Using Float rigs
About 2 years ago I was told about using a float rig for striper fishing, well I tryed it, not to seriously, and gave it up.

Register now and get rid of these ads.
Now I'm hearing that it's the way to go with a 4 rod spread all set at different dephts,. Has anyone tryed this way of fishing for striper and if so how did it work? Thanks all, just joined 1st post, any advice will be great.

Welcome to the site. Depending on where you're fishing, finding striper in different depths of the water column is essential, and float rigs can be effective. Most of my striper fishing has been on boats and if we're using live bait we stagger the bait at different depths. From boat or pier, there are countless rigs and techniques to use. You can use a three way rig, and bounce them over the tubes or around other structure. You can rig up a "carolina style" rig and drop them straight down to different levels of the water column. You can use float rigs set at different depths. You can throw out live or dead bait on a fishfinder rig. You can free line live bait. Any number of lures work great for schoolies and sometimes bigger fish: Bucktails, windcheaters, rattletraps, swim shads, gulp jerk shads on a jighead, gulp swimming on a jighead, topwater plugs, mirrolures, cisco kids(not sure if they make those now), stretches, shoot, the list goes on and on and they'll hit damn near anything once you find them! Not going to spot burn here, as I'm starting to learn how easy it is to burn up a "Pier or Surf" spot on the WWW .

For what you are asking about it might be a better technique for a boat. Using this style from the beach might be a little difficult and fishing multiple float rigs from a pier might interfere with other anglers.

I'm really sorry Jerry. I returned you pm. I received some bad news yesterday, and I guess I'm just blowing off steam. I'm kind of like a 250 pound hornet with a short fuse right now. Shouldn't have dragged out my personal crap, and I definitely shouldn't have made any foul comments to you or anybody else. Kind of wearing my heart on my sleeve. I'm putting myself in time out. Didn't mean to disrespect the board.

No hard feelings Draw , I hope everything works out for you and your family, We all have to vent at some point and I could have maybe put my intent in a different way.
OliverShagnasty: I apologize for the hijack of your thread , like others have said floats would prob be better for boating. jerry

Hey guys thanks so much for the many tips yall were kind enough to share.
I do primarily fish from a boat, usually around the islands, and for the most part casting at schoolies. I never had the opportunity to go out whenever I wanted because I was at the mercy of buddies with boats. Long story short got a good deal on a 20' CC & now I want to learn the basics of going deep & getting the big slobs, like the one in the pic above, hey man beautiful fish,. I wasn't wanting anyone to reveil locations or honey holes, sorry if I was missleading.

10-4 I did read that artical, & thats what relit my intrests in the whole float rig do-dad.
Headed out last night to try to put it to the test, but the planets were not in the proper alinment. Went out even though I truly wanted to stay home and watch game 6, by the way HELL YEAH Yanks got #27, but tide was dead slack, boat started screwing up (insert good,cheap mechanics name here), storm came in hellofa lot quicker than predicted,WET,& still had to get up at 5:30am for work, I was hoping the shop would have disappeared or caught fire, anything to keep me from going in.... So to the point, didn't get a chance to try the floats or cast the rocks more than 5 times..Bummed but the Yankees won & kept me from sinking into a deep depression. Where is good place to buy some eels, I guess going price is $24 per dozen.
