Chasing schools of shad and suspended bass can be very productive this time of year when not using an Umbrella rig. Great pattern for filling the live well with keepers if need be. Not a true big fish pattern, but can sometimes yield giants if pressure is high and the bite is tough.

Fishing an Umbrella rig in 10-25 feet of water around brush piles and rock can be extremely productive this time of year as we move into the earliest stages of pre-spawn fishing. Stripers and Bass both fall victim to a medium to slow retrieve. Can be fished with lighter weighted jig heads shallow like a spinnerbait around visible structure.

Seek out dirty water in the backs of major creeks and cast a lipless crankbait onto hard bottom areas. Work the bait in a slow yo-yo style retrieve. 3-6ft of water.

Striped BassTechniqueLive Bait RigsSeasonSummerStructureRiver ChannelsDuring the summer months the water in the upper layers is to warm and has low oxygen levels causing fish to go deep into river channels and ledges. Use your electronics to mark fish over 60 foot of water and then down rig with live herring. Put lines at different depths starting out and then narrow down as you get on fish.
