Jigs and Rig Setup while fishing for Strippers [Newbie Question]

[larry626]

Hi, sorry for the newbie question but i didn't have much success on my first trip to Diamond Valley a couple of weeks ago. I was wondering if I can get some advice on some proper setups for fishing DVL. I'm targeting strippers. Also which area of the lake would bring about the most success? Thanks in advance.

Seems like most of the folks here will not offer much advice, not sure how to effectively target the DVL stripers, I've caught fish trolling a 4" zoom fluke on a 3/16 scrounger lead head and a 4 oz torpedo sinker tied on a 3 way swivel. I've seen people catch on rapala Ice jigs, and white shad swim baits. Most of the fish right now are from 40 - 70 ft down. Sounds like people are catch fish trolling, not sure what there trolling. Saw alot of bait and wait folks on the bouy line sat. but only one fish caught when I passed by. Didn't see much striper action but diamond bear did very well trolling from his report. I saw 1 striper landed around 7 lb on a flylined anchovie over by the quarry on the east end.

we ended up catching lots of bass on dropshot senkos, and some really big bluegill. but struck out on the stripers.

Tuna: thanks for responding. When trolling, do you just toss your line in at a certain depth with a plastic jig and run around the bank of the lake? A bit new to trolling for fish.
