Striper Lures
Message:
I am returning to fishing and going after stripers for the first time. I am going out for my first trip next week and was wondering what types of lures I should be using for this time of year. I am looking at going to the DEP docks in Old Lyme and am not sure what to throw. Additionally will those same lures/baits work in the CT river as well? Is it too early for topwater lures or am I better off throwing softbaits? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

9" black/red and also the white sluggos work great. 2-3 ounces poppers for top water. Anything resembling a bait-fish or an eel will work fine, just make sure its weighted enough for the spots your throwing.

Thanks for the advice! Can you explain the "weighted for where I'm throwing"? Do you mean in a heavy current throw a 4oz sinker, for example?
