Hi Dragman,
Ah yes, stripers & blues...words to make me feel warm all over here in the heart of winter
I think a good basic half dozen or so would include (choose from among):
1)Hopkins or Kasmaster or Deadly Dick
2) Felmlee eel
3) YoZuri crystal minnow or Rebel blueback(1 5 1/2" & 1 7")
4) a couple of bucktail jigs all-white, all-yellow
5) Atom Striper Swiper popper (blue & white)
6) couple of needles (pink, purple/white, yellow)
7) something big & splashy like a Danny or, if you can find one, a Goo Goo eyes or reverse Atom or even a big, old creek chub jointed Pikie...something that'll make a helluva fuss splashing along in the suds...
Pick up a few of these & you should be in good shape to get started...first chance you get, though, get somebody local to show you how to fish live eels at night & that'll get you out there at night when the action really picks up...
