Starting to learn stripes

[brewer88]

Did very well at CH Dam yesterday. Caught 8 stripes/hybrids and had 2 or 3 more on.Went out with the wife and got on the water at about 5pm, lots and lots of skipjack near the dam. water was pushing about 20KCFS I believe, right at dusk the surface was alive with finglerling skips eating bugs.

Thanks for all the tips guys! I think I'm improving haha. Having those stripes inhale the bait sure is fun, and dang they fight.

Typically when you find the skippies you find the stripes :

Nice report! I like my striped bass blackened on the grill or in an iron skillet
