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

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

trolling for dolphin is 1000x more fun than trolling 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.
