How to catch stripers 101

[jet]

Always go with the current since bait fish swim with the current and predator fish wait in ambush spots, where they know food will be brought in by current. The same principle applies on a drift, with a bottom fishing rig or jig. The current itself is carrying you and your bait slowly along.

i agree with this, especially when casting lures along structure, but, most of my larger fish have been caught while trolling or jiggin, kayak and boat, against or perpendicular to the current. i still usually follow the current.

Thanks for both replies, will keep in. Mind when throwing.
