Striped Bass can be caught with minnows, shad, perch, or artificials. They 
are normally deep open water fish, so catching them from a pier is 
difficult, although I have seen it happen. They throw about 50 yards out 
into the lake with live bait. Usually it is around some point that the fish 
might gather. It's tough, but it can be done.
