I honestly dont know. Ive only been striper fishing once and we were using chovies as we were also fishing for catfish, That was on the sac also. I'll talk to a guy that works for my dad and see if he has any ideas. Since salmon is slow right now i might go brave the outlet for some. Hopefully they dont make it totally off limits there, I was reading on a site about people above the salmon marker ( 1000 feet down from the outlet for salmon) catching salmon and the "lure" of choice were bronze trebbles and 3-5 oz of lead... =\
