I understand and appreciate the responses from everyone. I will read the stuff you suggested but I still prefer hands on learning. I'm not trying to steal anyone's secrets or hijack their fishing holes, I'm just curious how you all do it. I've went out and tried many times and had very little to no success. I've only caught one striper when I was actually trying for striper and three on accident. Seems like my stats are little backwards now that I think about, maybe I should just stop trying for them and I'll catch more.
Also, I forgot to mention another thing that I could offer in the the deal. I've got a pretty good wild hog hunting spot or two. So I could take you out and help you get a wild boar or two if you're interested in that sort of thing.
