How to keep Bait Alive Places to Stay Misc.
Stripers are deep and scattered wide.
This winter has proven to be one of the most difficult for catching numbers of fish. Unlike winters past when it was relatively easy to locate fish schooled together in the thousands, the fish now are scattered out wide, deep, and hanging in the trees. We have the blueback herring to thank for this. The herring are grouped in small schools and scattered from 2ft deep on the shores, to 50ft deep in the channels. Because this bait is so widely scattered, and in small schools, the stripers are reacting in the same manner.
