Pete, The guide I was watching wasn't using any led. He would throw out and let the shad drift with the water. Looked like he was free lining. Looked like the current was taking the shad down. I guess he was fishing for the stripers that come to the top, making his bait look natural. I didn't see him catch anything. But I just watched him on 2 drifts.

And Hoot it sounds more like someone that did not fish there.
Not to say that will not work. but will not catch them like getting down where the bait is.

Now if they cut the boils off. That works. but when the boils are running, Most of them are down where all the bait is.
But then again like every other fish. you never know where there going to be.
I am in no way a fisherman for them. but can and do catch them. But may just learn a lot more about them. Like catching the big boys that I know are there. And have seen some chasing minnows and come out of the water. I'm talking hogs.. 30+ lb striper's feeding and not only one but 100 at a time.
Now that was and is fun. Top water and hang on. I have had them rip out the hooks from a spook.
Next is planer boards and see just how big of a fish I can come up with. LOL
