I fish for Stripers in the mouth of creeks running into the Tombigbee and
Alabama river. I the summer when the water warms up you will find the
Stripers gathered up there for two reasons. They like the cooler water and
the bait fish are there also. I find the drop-offs right in the creek
channels (in the river). Sometimes this may only be a few feet deep. The
Stripers will run the bait fish up into the shollow waters. I use live shad
or shiners..the bigger the better. I fish on the bottom using the slip
sinker rig. I have also caught them with fast moving crappie jigs while
trying to catch skip jack. The fight these Strpers put up is nothing like a
bass..they hit hard, fast and the run is on!
