|  Stripers Raritan April 10 
			
			Spotty fishing till now finally found lure they hit on. Five fish three of which about 28-29 NW blowing 15-20 2 foot chop . Quit at 10:30 am to avoid tide turn to against wind. Last edited by bgreene; 04-11-2022 at 02:26 PM. |

			Really?  My happiest days fishing have been trolling for dolphin in the Keys.  But I never trolled for stripers.

  Dolphin- 80 degrees, middle of the day, cool beverage, 7 mph, 7 lines out, crazy fun fish to catch and eat. Striper- 50 degrees, first light, 2 or 3 mph, 2 lines out, all the fight taken out by the motion of the boat before you pick up the rod, still really good to eat but its not dolphin  Best striper fishing is livelining 1 pound bunker. You get the take of the bait, set of the hook, and all the power of the run. great fishing.

			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.

			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.

			Pipe - Trolling for stripers in the ocean is equally as fun.
