Stripers are in the Bledsoe Creek area near shorelines with a flat before a drop-off into the river channel. Had success in 8-15 feet of water on the A-Rig. Have a spoon ready when you spot schools of white bass.

Well seems I still can’t pick the bait or the reel used. Ark Gravity BFS reel and the bait is a Eurotackle Z-Spender jerkbait from Amazon or the Eurotackle web site. The threadfin shad color specifically. Caught a few of these. They didn’t seem to look twice at any other baits around me. This is a 2 inch suspending jerk bait. I also tried a sinking bitsy jerk bait from strike king and they were not interested. Not a big fish, but where there are a few smaller ones there are larger ones somewhere. Anyway, I didn’t have time to try a larger size before night fall. So maybe something to try for others that want to. I am guessing any shad color suspending jerkbait may work. I just chose the duo realis bait in this case because that was the closest option.
