Which ones? Lots of different "stripers." There's a "striper" here in the lakes of Illinois that some call white bass. *Caught a lot of them, but they don't bet much bigger than a nice crappie. * Then I've heard of hybrids in the impoundments out west that are supposed to be good fighters, and get pretty big. Ocean stripers too. *I'm confused now. http://www.alltackle.com/striped_bass_catch.htm Hoo-eeee! *Now that looks like fun. And tells me they call them rockfish too. Are they good eating? --Vic They're ok to catch, but not real fighters, especially around Chesapeake Bay, where most of the fishermen I see use heavy tackle. If you are in it to catch fighters, you want bluefish or crevalle jacks. A blue or jack one fourth the size of a rockfish will put up a tremendous fight. -- George W. Bush - the 43rd Best President Ever!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - You've never caught a striper if you make that claim.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Well, it is quite accurate in my opinion. Jacks, or bluefish will give a lot more of a fight generally. I have had stripers come in just like a big frekin' log. They can be real lazy, until they see the boat ![]() |
