There were a few questions a couple of weeks ago about umbrella rigs.

Here's a commercial webpage that shows a variety of umbrella rigs,

tandem rigs with parachutes or bucktails. Only way to go.

Of course, if you did more than 'drift fishing' within twelve feet
of the
marina, you'd know that.

JohnH,
What is the largest striper or is it striper you have caught.

Me 42" at the Rock Pile on the Maryland side of the Potomac River
about 10 miles up from the Chesapeake Bay. This was about 33 years ago.


How would you rate their fighting abilities? Any nice jump and tail
wags trying to throw the lure?

The fight was great. When they get close to the surface they try and
dive down and away from the boat. They wiggle, twist and do just about
anything to get rid of the hook. If you want a fish to jump, splash and
fight you need to go for the 15 to 20 pound Bluefish.
