This can be a world-class fishery if you timing is good. Stripers range from about 18 inches to over 30 pounds. Floating lines with poppers and sinking lines with various minnow patterns work well. Motorboats, pontoon boats and float tubes are almost a must unless you want to wade for fish in the shallows (which can be a blast). Fishing can be good throughout the year, but spring and fall are typically the best.
