Fishing Techniques

• For Striped bass

  Match the hatch! Pay attention to what the stripers are feeding on and select lures or baits that mimic the size and color of the local forage.

• For White perch

  White perch often school, so if you catch one, stay in that area to find more. Vary your retrieve speed until you find what they prefer.

• For White bass

  Look for birds diving or surface activity to locate schools of white bass, then use lures that mimic shad or minnows to entice strikes.
