Fishing can be a tricky sport, especially when the fish are wily and unpredictable. Some even go out in search of a particular gilled opponent that continues to elude them. While this might seem excessive to some, real fishermen understand the philosophy. It is not surprising that catching striped bass, which can be difficult and frustrating, is a challenge they enjoy.

Stripers cover a lot of territory. They have been caught in Southern Florida and in Nova Scotia. They range all up and down the Atlantic coast. Some grow to impressive lengths and weights. It is possible to find them weighing in at almost a hundred pounds. In order to have a real chance at reeling in one of these tricky fish, sportsmen need all the advantages available, including the right equipment.

You will have a lot easier time finding stripers with a fish finder. These wily fish cover a vast area and swim at varying depths. They can change course at a minute's notice. Having a finder will greatly enhance your ability to determine exactly where they are in the water. Of course, you have to understand how the finder works, and reading the manual will help.

Many experienced fishermen prefer live bait when trying to entice stripers. The fish are not picky eaters. You can be successful with blood worms, eel, herring, clams, mackerels, squid, and other bait fish. What is more important is the location. The local bait shop is a good resource if you are unfamiliar with the area and don't know which bait will work best.

You can find the fish and offer the right bait, but it won't matter if you have the wrong rod and reel. One size doesn't fit all either. You will have to choose your equipment according to what kind of fishing you're doing and where you're doing it. A saltwater spinning reel is a good choice in saltwater. The rod's weight and flexibility should be determined by whether you will be fishing in the surf, from a boat, or off a pier.

The weather and water conditions have to be right if you are going to catch one of these elusive fish. Since they migrate, you will have to determine when the optimal conditions exist where you're fishing. If the water is too hot, they will move to a colder area or dive deeper. Stripers like moving water that stirs up sediment and attracts bait fish. They generally feed at dawn and dusk, which is when you're most likely to attract one.

If you're looking for a prize catch, you should think about using live eels. Fisherman who do argue that it is exciting and effective. This is especially true on Cape Cod. Live eels make it easier to attract the biggest stripers which tend to stay on the bottom.

Avid sportsmen can't wait for the next fishing trip. They love the challenge of pitting themselves against wily opponents. They know winning the fight and claiming the prize are worth the wait.
