Targeting Holdover Stripers in Long Island Bays

As the weather warms up, holdover stripers in Long Island's bays become more active, and with the right tackle and timing, anglers can experience consistent and exciting action. The early-season bite often takes place at the end of the flood tide, and using the right lures can make all the difference. From jigs to minnow plugs, and topwater plugs, the key is to find the right combination to tempt these lethargic fish.
