Ive fished for striper every single day for like 2 weeks on the Great Bay off the Piscataqua River and can’t get a bite for shit. I’ve tried every soft and hard plastic as well as frozen mackerel. I can not catch shit. I go mid day/evening most times. I fish off my dock or off a bridge. What do I need to do differently? When should I be going and what should I be using? Everyone else is ripping striper, this bay is flooded with them but none of them want to bite my shit

Edit: I have a 13’ whaler that I take all around the bay as well. The engine just had an issue on Saturday so I haven’t been using it the past couple days. Should have it back end of the week

Anyone fished at block island before? How was it? Anything I should know before going? Not really familiar with the area so feel free to give me some spot recommendations.

Hello ! I been fishing at my local river with the kayak. Noticed most of my fish on fish finder are middle of water depth. I tend to anchor and bait fish with sardine/worms. How can I possibly make a rig to fish the middle section ?

I had a idea but not sure if it effective. 3 way swivel long leader for bottom with weight then short leader for hook on side.

I’m in the northern Virginia area in Faquier county what’s the absolute. Est spot I could catch a nice striper on like live bait near me even though it’s a hot ass day I can driver an hour or a hour and a half

I wanted to try and fish for striper on the glidebaut during the pre spawn run in MD when those cows come up here should I be fine with a mh rod that has 25lb fluoro spooled on it or should I run some braid to a fluoro leader.

I’m heading to college in a couple months and don’t want to bring a bunch of rods with me. I’m looking for one high end rod and reel setup that can handle pretty much all of my striper fishing.

I’ll mostly be fishing New England. I’ll throw paddle tails, SP Minnows, Mag Darters, metal lips, and eel-style baits.

I know no setup is perfect for every situation, but I’m looking for the closest thing to a do it all setup. Budget isn’t really a concern as long as the gear is worth the money.
