ME AND MY NEIGHBOR WHEN FISHING YESTERDAY AT ARDEN ON THE AMERICAN RIVER AND I CAUGHT A 25INCH STRIPED BASS AND IT WEIGHT 4LBS.FOR BAIT I USED A SPIKE MINNOW FOR BAIT AND SIZE 1 HOOK TO CATCH THE FISH IT WAS A FUN FIGHT TO CATCH THAT FISH FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.
Good job! Send us a pic for hawg of the month!
Hey JD, I found your tips regarding Shad fishing very useful. Thanks a lot! Now that the Shad bite is slowing way down, I plan to see if I can find some stripers. How do you rig and fish these swimbaits? If you did a new article about how to find and fish for stripers (especially from the bank) that would be awesome!
Okay, good idea, Jake. I’ll try to bust something out soon!
