What really sucks is: when I try to catch stripers at the aqueduct I can't get'em. But, when I am catfishing I accidently catch'em. People say live bloodworms are great for both. I used nightcrawlers. When dragging them in is when I would catch a striper. I also hear Bucktail jigs do well. Late spring when the water is warming, I would see alot of topwater splashing. So, topwater baits are a choice then. I could never predict boils. So, just gotta have'em with you at all times. I usually go out in late spring. I will see you there sometime.
