Damn, I thought you were a shad...
Not 24 hours after telling one of the guys on my boat that I rarely catch stripers on salmon plugs…PRESTO!…A striper climbs all over a backtrolled chrome and chartreuse number we were trying to put in the face of a king.
Still, it’s a rare occurrence…maybe once a year or so. You’d think it would happen more often when you consider the fact that a plug looks (and smells) a lot like a small fish…something, in theory, that an opportunistic striper would find hard to resist. But in fact, I’ve caught far more linesiders on back-bounced eggs. Go figure…

They seem to prefer a plug with a tighter wobble…I wonder why?
Nice looking plug! Hummm.
And just like a Bass, it is hooked on the gill plate!
Hey, great photo! What camera did you take that with?
Keep up the great work.
Tight lines,
