trolling for stripers

looking for best lure and color patterns for stripers on the Hudson river

Don't know if this will help, but they seem to like the 4 1/2" Bomber long A silver prism W/blue back, when we troll in a local lake.
Shouldn't be hard to find a lure that catches them, seems like they hit almost anything!
Lots of guys also fish with a bobber and liver for them.

I use Yozui deep or shallow divers with a Zoom white worm trailer in the Sacramento delta and I'm sure they'll work at your body of water. They're killers

Spro swim baits, rap all broken back minnow, good old go to 1/2 hair jig tipped with a fluke or a soft swim bait, about anything works in spring and fall...
If you can get some Shad I would troll them on planer boards, free lines and a long line balloon. Hard to beat live Shad! Use the trolling motor and go .8 to 1.5 according to the size of shad. Smaller pull a little slower. Larger can handle a little faster. It's all about the V-wake!
Hope that helps!
