Live bait. You can anchor or drift it down lined with about 1 1/2 oz weight. Pull planer boards with either no weight or a split shot on the leader with some free lines down the middle behind the boat. Hooks are personal preference but remember when selecting hooks that you have to keep a thinner wired hook if your going to nose hook the shad, plus a heavy hook will hurt the action of your bait. I use 1/0 Gama Octopus Circles most of the time, looks like to small of a hook for a big stripe but it will get them right in the corner of the mouth. I'm no expert at these stripes at all but that's mostly how I fish and what I have observed others do as well. Someone else can hopefully help us both with lure selections for the fast trolling with lead line and all that jive.
