Are you sure the fish you were marking were stripe? On the fishfinder we use we can tell what are stripe and what are not. Last tuesday we marked stripe that were obviously not feeding. They were scattered around and we would see one or two at a time. Not one single hit in that area. Then we were able to find some schools of them that were agreesivley feeding. The fishfinder was absolutely stacked with fish. We could tell they were stripe by the size of the soundings on the fishfinder and the balls of bait they were chasing. The fact that the second school we found were busting shad 5 feet from the boat was a good indication too. If you don't see a substantial amount of bait or large fish in the area then I would not fish it. We always drive through an area and look for fish before we put our baits out. Sometimes we will move to 4 or 5 spots before we find fish. If you don't mark large fish in the area then you are wasting your time. Right now the fish seem to be holding in the 30 to 45 foot range at the mouths of the large creeks. It's like anything else. It just takes experience. Stripe are always on the move and it takes time to find them. If you really want to learn I would go with a guide at different times of the year to learn the techniques. That is how I learned alot about stripe fishing.
