Thread: Info On Brookville stripers?

Your chart/sonar will show the fish depth. Experiment. Also, bandit has some walleye stick baits that seem to run deeper than most. I have 75-100 older bagleys that run a lot deeper than most new cranks. Salmon Lures run deeper than the cranks we use also and they work on stripers so check them out. Spoons will work also. Spinner baits for bass fishing work. Large baits are used as the old saying, large catches larger fish. 6" swim baits in white work. But, I have caught 12 pounders on 1/8 oz chartreuse curley tail jigs on 6lb test on 12' crappie rods before. Takes about 15 minute battle to,get them to the net with finess, so they will hit anything. I have caught 20 lb on Mansfield (cecil Hardin) which has the state record of 40 plus I think. Friend of mine caught one this spring there 3 oz shy of the state record. You might also check out using planer boards, easy to use. I use them on occasion with 8.5 trolling rods and 10lb power pro on okuma line counters to,get deeper than the normal 20 lb power pro I use.
