On a more serious note, a wild guess. If you are catching stipers you
are probaby fishing open water - they are usually an open water fish.
Try fishing around cover - weeds, wood, rock - with spinners and
rubbers (plastic worms) I have heard Senko type baits are good there.

Iam in Southern Cali.. First year owning a boat caught plenty of fish on
the new boat in both ocean and lake but what has puzzled me the most id
not being able to hook a LMB right here in good old Socal. I have used
swim baits, rubbers,spinners, shad nothing seems to interest these LMB.
What am i doing wrong? All i seem to catch is stripper.. Anyone from
Calif have any suggestions? Lakes i tend to fish are Castaic,
Casitas,Pyramid...
