This is one of the many stripers of all sizes that I caught in New York while visiting my family there during the holiday season.

A couple of friends had bigger ones.

They were mainly landed on soft shad-shaped swimbaits on jig heads cast from shore.

Many smaller ones also on "tin squids" (heavy casting spoons) and "teasers" (feather streamers tied on dropper loops ahead of the tins).

I caught most of my bigger ones with a 1-1/2 oz jig head and the 5-inch Yamamoto Swimbait in color #031 (pearl blue w/silver).

The people at Yamamoto really make good bait. :)
