Haven't got to troll for stripers in the ocean in several years because they stopped coming all the way down to NC and VA. I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder.

But in reality I like to troll for about anything that will bite. :party:

Yeah, that’s the problem out here on the Columbia and Willamette rivers. The Salmon swim by, fin their noses at us but don’t bite. My fishing buddy did get ONE the other day (around 30 boats he counted and two total fish for the day). Very good eating, 8 lb, very nice and fat for a long run upstream to spawn.
