Like you, I am rather ignorant on where to find stripers. I did enjoy fishing off my dock last evening over the submersible lighs. I must of caught a couple of dozen large mouth, spots, and small strippers. None were large fish, but I enjoyed playing with them with ultralight tackle. They all seemed to like the plastic minnows you can get from Walmart. I had luck with the purple ones you rig yourself and the ones that come in a three pack that are already pre-rigged and have the hook upside down and the point at the top of the lure.

I have been seeing some larger strippers early in the morning aound 4:OO AM over the lights. I hung one Thursday morning and had him going for about 5 minutes until he snapped my line. I later figured out I had the drag just a little tight for the line I was using. I was certainly not using ultralight then but medium heavy with YO-ZURI HYBRID Fluorocarbon in 10 lb. test (supposed to be equivalent to 19 lb test line). It was fun even it I did not land him.
