Back in the '70s a group of us was wading at the mouth of the Feather River for Shad in the afternoon in April/May and then as the sun went down we switched to Stripers. Maybe 6 of us were spread out on the sandbar at the mouth throwing bucktail streamers in hopes of getting a Striper. It was a low water year so we could wade easily there.
After an hour or so a young man waded out with a spinning rod and a Rebel lure. He caught about 3 Stripers and then left with them all in about 30 minutes.
We all got skunked with flies that evening.
We all theorized about that evening for years. We figured that with plugs that vibrate you don't need to be very good.
We did have our nights there though back then.
