Ive never fished for them or caught one by accident. I will be trying for them in the savannah river ga. about 5miles from the ocean. I have seen a few on the top feeding. Their are flood gates that im told is the location for'em.
What kind of bait and how to fish for them would be most helpful. I have a $50 gift certificate to Wally world and i was eyeing this short thick sharkspere combo. i think the reel is one of those 4/0 or something, the combo is 49.95......i wonder if its worth buying. you can tell of my ignorance in the aught of these reels. Bass Pro has a Penn combo starting at 99.00 but.....the gift cert. 1st. i know, you get what you pay for.
I will be in a boat and i do have an eagle 502gps/fishfinder. Ive gone out there to check it out and i see multiple fish near the bottom. are these the stripers? i somewhat tried putting large shrimp on a cork on one rod and another i tried to use the three way swivel and let the weight leader go about 10ft below the bait. I got a top water mirror lure and also a 1 1/2oz spoon that are still in the package. I was told they wont work.
So, i would like to know if this cheap combo will do or should i acquire a 50.00 surf rod, which i do not have. I do have a nice mid size pflueger reel to match a surf rod. On top of knowledge of bait and its use i would like to know about the cheap combo or decent surf rod.
lets talk striper 101....
