Basically the gap between the squid and blues. It's not really all that complicated. The hardest part is figureing out what kind of offerings. Unlike blues, Striper are very picky and nortiously lazy. Trying to match what kind of bait fish their currently feeding on is key. Local bait shops can always give you pointers. I usally start with squid and sandworms, then move into macks and pogeys, and finally end the year with bellies and eels. When it comes to plugs things get a little more complicated. Along the same lines of offerings, certain plugs only work at certain times of day, tide, location. A good begginer lure would be a Castmasters or Storm shads I.M.O. There really is not one set technique, every fisherman I know does things a little diffrently. ( hook type, mono/steel leader, jig setup ) The trick really comes down to setting the hook. Location is important, most anglers are not to keen on giving up spots. However, if you spend time driving around the water you will surely find good locations.



Tight lines.
