Yes, stripers definitely go for the heads! What is also improtant, they will swallow the head from front to back, and it is easy to secure the hook in a way that it will face back from the attacking striper. This way your fish will be less likely to feel the hook, and you will be more likely to set it well. Since you are more likely to come up with a striper, think about using mono leader. Stripers seem often shy of wire. Tight lines!

Well, just got back from the pier at Walnut Beach. Caught a Searobin – not exactly the test I was looking for my poles but you know what they say about beggars. Had some nibbles and I also caught a nice crab. Apparently, I’m kinda easing my way back into fishing.
A couple other guys caught small (real small) blues.
We saw a small school of bunker.
Keep thinking things might have been a little better if there weren’t a bunch of kids jumping off of the pier. Let just say that they were making some big splashes.
Here’s a question. If high tide on Sunday night is 12:30 am (Monday morning), will the fishing be any good around 7 Sunday night?

Hey Gretzky, find the bait(bunkers), you find big fish. Regarding surf fishing, usually incoming is a good time.
