These stripers are hitting hard and going straight down. I'm using medium/heavy Ugly Stik Bigwater rods and they'll double them over. One of the boys I had yesterday didn't think he was going to be able to bring one of the bigger ones up by himself but he finally did. About the time they start to give in and get close to the top they'll see the boat and take off again. They're a lot of fun and a lot of folks like eating them. We keep them in icewater so they are still alive and fresh when we clean them and we trim out the red meat.
