What are fishing patterns?

When someone says that they caught Stripers, the first thing we say is, where?

While most Striper fishermen are reluctant to say where, we should probably rephrase the question to ask what was the pattern?

Knowing the pattern and knowing the lake will help you be more successful in your search.

Here’s where a paper map comes in handy. You can find many patterns before you plan your search for Stripers.

Humps & long points adjacent to deep water; submerged bridges; 30’ down over a 50’ bottom and so on.
