I am going with my family June 1
Any great tips ?

I am going to use night crawlers & crank baits
according to internet tips

You are going to be at one of the best freshwater striper lakes in the country. I would use live shad.

Yes Sir
Thanks

Strolling @1.5 mph in 60 ft of water with 80 ft of line out.. 20 lb mono w/.5 oz weight w/10ft 20lb floro leader #2 circle hook (red) and 6 to 8 inch Shad...
this speed and weight bait will be @ 45 ft and then hang on.

Use earthworms, believe it or not, hooking them in the head and the butt and leave the big U in the middle unattached. Fish them in front of deep water boat docks with a minimum of 60’ of water, in 20-30 feet using a drop shot rig, and jig them softly up and down. They will usually hit it on the fall. You will hammer the spotted bass from 1-3 lbs and catch a lot of them. Can see the schools easily on your Livescope. Very fun. Dont mess with shallow water docks, they wont be there. You can also get a case of beer and troll down the river channels in the coves in 12-15’ with crank baits, hellbenders, hot n tots, or thin fins, and you might catch seven or eight different fish. Spots, largemouth, smallmouth, crappie, walleye, white bass, striper, or even a catfish if you are unlucky.
