Soft-plastic lures are the keys to success with early season stripers, says Bill "Eelman" Nolan.
"Steve McKenna likes the Cocahoe Minnow alot on a half-ounce jighead," he says. "I like the Bass Pro Shop's Triple Ripple 4-inch, all-white curly tails on a plain jighead I also use 5- and 7-inch white Fin-S-Fish by Lunker City. It's a fantastic lure and works well all season long!
"For some reason in the spring, jigs without hair on them perform much better than standard bucktail jigs with hair. Seems to be the more plain and simple the plastic is, the better the results.Of course, you cant beat a small white Storm shad either, but this time of the year, the less complicated the better.
"Once the squid show up in force, regular plugs will begin to work well as the fish become more and more aggresive and a bit larger."
