12' is the deepest and it is roughly 100-150 yards out before reaching that deep. Where I fish you can walk out about 50-75 yards before it reaches chest deep, about 4.5-5'. A SR. Troller? I have a couple Dannys and a really big Goo Goo eye by Afterhours. I do not have a Sr. Troller. I will be on the lookout. Thank you sir!

I found the book by Zeno Hromin. I am having trouble find a book by DJ, could you let me know who he is, or maybe what the book is called. I also found a book by John Skinner. I am buying both.

I am fishing for freshwater striper, on Lake Texoma. It is a pretty big lake, (for the south anyways), it is not particularly deep. The place I fish mostly is fairly shallow, about 12' at the deepest and flat,, it is very windy here usually, around 12-20mph winds. The lake is really rough most of the time, top water plugs are going to be best I think, like a danny. I do not believe a darter will be good, but I may be wrong. I have used Yuzuri crystal minnows, they dive too deep and hit bottom, even with a terribly slow retrieve. I use a 10'6" tsunami airwave elite rod with a shimano ultegra xtd 5500 reel spooled with 20# power pro braid. I also bait fish for catfish and carp.

Thank you everyone for all the tips. I am finding more out now in the past few hours than I have in a week. Thank you again. I do not live near salt water, so all my fishing is done with freshwater striper. I have caught them on pencil poppers, trying to expand my arsenal of lures to what you north east guys do. I hope to come up that way one day to try out what I have learned on the salt.

I am searching for any information regarding the action and how to fish each type of plug. Unfortunately I have not grown up using plugs, nor do I know anyone who has. I have searched videos, articles, and on here. If anyone has any tips or can point me to the right direction, I am in great appreciation to all of you. Thank you.
