This was on the mighty susquehanna river. stripers, rockfish, striped bass are all the same. White bass, white perch, hybrids and them are all in the same family though.Tequila;3614554; said:When all else fails, have you ever tried WHACKY?...... try hooking a worm in the middle of the body with the hook point just coming through the worm and toss it out there and let in sink on it's own. Then give a little tap or two and reel it in a bit and then repeat, just watch that line - the line tightens up even for a moment, on the next movement set the hook.

nice channel, have you ever thought about targeting larger catfish and striper by keeping the bait alive either shads or bluegill just put a circle hook under there soft dorsal and let them swim around with the drag of or really lose if your using spinning reels. I use a 2 oz sinker to keep the bait neer the bottom. When they hit let them swim with it for a while untill they stop, then when they start to run again set the hook. Depending if theres flatheads or blues in the river would matter for size of the bait. For big flatheads and blues I would use a 6-8 inch baitfish. For smaller cats and large channels I would use a 2 inch or a little bigger baitfish.Dreamsofpeace54;3628507; said:called out sick to do a little night fishing last night. caught some bluegills for bait and was able to land this puppy before the sun ever set. my biggest channel to date, 7.5lbs. forgot to measure before i threw him back
