What is the best Bait or Lure to catch Striped Bass?
They are up VERY close to shore. People are catching them in my area only about 10 feet out. I have never done surf fishing. What bait or lure type should I be using?
Can you provide Lure Pic if possible?
Coworker just caught a good size 29″ stripper last night. He was using 20 yr old 8′ Kunan rod & Shimano reel. 8″ pencil popper, white with red head. 14 lb test, but I used the same thing and got nothing!
the white bait with the red head is one of the only things even older than me! it is the Lucky 13 but crankbaits will work top water baits people like because they aren’t as affected by the surf movement and stripers like to feed off the surface.

There are so many but long cigar shaped not so deep a diving crank baits all will work. Go on line to bass pro shops and enter the keyword crankbait. but honestly if they are biting like that you can cast a herring or sardine right out of the can and catch em.
