It seems that half of the tecniques that he's describing are popular
striper tecniques. I suggest not only fishing LM habitat like shallow cover
and the like, but also slowing down your presentation and fishing Senkos
wacky rigged and stuff like that. Think more worm and less baitfish. Maybe
that will help to even off the ratio anyway.
I wouldn't complain though. I wish we had more freshwater stripers here
in NJ. I have to settle for a bi-annual run that is actually happening
right now. The good thing is that the striper runs happen before bass
season and after the black bass slow down for the winter. Some guys still
fish LM into the deep fall but I can't help myself when it comes to
stripers, they take priority to me.

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...
