    Found a school of stripers feeding off of a shallow point. They wanted the jerkbait worked quickly, and hit it on movement with short pauses.

    The males are starting to move up shallow getting ready for the spawn. Got multiple bites on a suspending shallow jerkbait working it with a standard twitch and pause retrieve. Pausing for a few seconds worked best.
