In Santee, we had Stripers and our bait of preference was a live shiners(around 3-5") hung over the side of the boat in rod holders hopefully in a pile of bait. We marked a 1 foot distance on our rod from the reel with a piece of tape, then when we marked the Stripers at 15 ft for example, we pulled 15 times to our mark after setting the rod and bait at the water level to get as close to 15 ft as possible. If they were in the jumps, yep, the silver buddies came out. These worked great. Hard to find in South Carolina, but it was my 'secret' bait. And YES, several people in South Carolina used chicken livers for the Stripers. My days and past experience with Livers kept me from using them, always seemed to be a mess.
