WHATS THE BEST LURE FOR STRIPED BaSS?
This weekend i'm going fishing with my father. We live in CT and were going fishingh along the coast on Long Island sound, no more than a 1/4-1/2 mile off shore. we want to go trolling. for anyone who is not familiar with long island sound it is not clear water, more of a green mercy color, and there can be a lot of seaweed. not too rocky but there are areas with great rock stuctures. like i said we want to go trolling for striped bass. we do not own a down rigger and i dont plant on dropping the $300 just to buy one. What are some rigs/lures that we can use hooking it up to a convential ocean fishing rod. Were on a 19ft power boat so this is not a jon boat or small aluminum hull were trolling with. Like i said what are some good "inexpessive" lured jigs rigs what ever that will troll nicely at slow speed and attract strippe bass.
Your cheapest (but most productive) lure would be a 1/2-3/4 OZ Jig with a 4-6" Grub/Shad-tail body.
Jigs are SUPER cheap, easily trolled or cast, and regularly catch 1000's of Stripers each year.
Here's some lure ideas for you-
1. Jigs- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_53008_151005010_151000000_151005000_151-5-1
2. Something similar to this that corresponds with the color of the Jighead- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_89411_151004005_151000000_151004000_151-4-5
3. Trolling any of the larger Swim Baits Storm makes would be cheap and productive- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_97806_151004005_151000000_151004000_151-4-5
4. Spoon- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_8349____SearchResults
(more Spoons)- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_30459____SearchResults I've used these spoons and they are excellent.
For $40-$50 you could easily have enough Jigs to last ALL day.
Just MAKE SURE to dowse any lures every now and then with some type of fish attractant such as-
A. http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_72020____SearchResults
OR any type of Pogy oil or Pogy oil based Fish attractant.
You will REGRET not having some attractant if you decide to troll spoons or Jigs.
Obviously, you could troll live and dead bait with a planer- http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_89426____SearchResults
Hope this helps? Good luck.
