Aldeer.com Forums Alabama Deer Talk AL Fishing Talk striped bass on lake Martin

I dont know about Lake Martin. At Smith lake we find them with our electronics then either drop live shad down on them with 4 rods, or troll through them with down riggers at 25 to 30 ft with bucktail jigs or Alabama rigs.

We went yesterday...you want to find big schools and your fish finder looking like Bama1971's or like this:



Thats a giant school of stripes.

heres some we pulled out of it using shad:









I ended up catching 6 out of one school, and 4 out of another. We kept 4 fish total between the 2 of us.

We definitely FIND THEM on electronics and then drop our lines.

We would have 2 and sometimes 3 on at one time. A heck of a lot of fun!
