wow, bob that is a lot different than my eperiences. maybe it is a
geographical thing, maybe it is the depth range, although we routinely fish
below 30 feet and often deeper in arkansas for the stripers. the hybrids we
find up in missouri are usually in 18-25 feet or so. anyway if you ever get
to s.w.mo in the mid may/early june time drop me a note. i'll put you on
some hybrid fishing that will open your eyes like no-doz tablets. :-)

that is my main prey. i bass fish in the winter/early spring then move
to
the whites/hybrids and striper in the summer. nothing like a 15 pounder
taking off with a 10'" shad to start the old heart pumping.

i love the anticipation of bass fishing, because the hunt is so much of
the
battle. but the fight of a hybrid/striper is so much better.

Are there any Striped Bass fishermen here? Is there a news group that
Striper fishing is a topic?

Thanks!

Interesting. I caught a lot of 8-12 lb stripers in Lake Powell several
years ago, and while they were fun to catch I never really thought they
were
all that great of a fighter. Maybe it was because we were cranking them
up
from depth of 30-80 feet. Either way, I figured a 5lb LM had more fight
in
him than a 10 lb striper.
