Stripers: Guide Jeremy Seabolt reports, “Summer is here and the big schools of stripers are school up. We have been catching fish a lot of ways from downlines and weighted freelines. We have been finding most of the fish on 25- to  45-foot humps and points and using downlines around 15 to 25 feet deep. We are switching over to trolling mid morning. In July, fishing can be sweet with some big numbers of fish being caught. As the water heats, the fish will start moving on out into the deeper water, which makes fishing even better. You have to do your homework and find them, but when you do, you can easily have some 20- to 40-fish days. Going into July, we will be switching over mostly to downlines and trolling as we chase the fish out to deep water. If you are reading this, then the fish should be on all their summer patterns. Start looking over the river and creek channels, and be ready to drop baits as soon as you get over the fish. Don’t forget The Bait Shack has all the striper candy that you want.”
