I actually saw a fishing program where they were on Clark Hill I think and did that and you could see the stripers on the DF coming up from the depth. I think it was Allen Warren Outdoors.
Never tried it myself.Might be a bunch of Hooey.
SeaRay, This does work. I have done the thumping thing for years for stripers and for perch. Perch respond just like the stripers if not better. Try it sometimes with the perch.
