Summer Lures
#1
Rapala X-Rap Saltwater 10
Color: Silver · Size: 10 cm
Cast along current breaks and channel edges; work with sharp 2–3 foot jerks followed by 2–3 second pauses. Stripers will crush this at night when they move shallow to feed.
Night feeding stripers in warm 77°F water respond aggressively to erratic jerkbait action; silver mimics shad and herring in low-light conditions on the Severn.
#2
Berkley PowerBait Saltwater Shrimp
Color: Natural Pink · Size: 3 inch
Cast uptide and work slowly along bottom structure and drop-offs; let the rig settle and crawl it back with subtle rod lifts. Stripers hunt baitfish and crustaceans at night on the Severn's deeper channels.
Carolina rig on the bottom targets stripers holding in deeper river structure at night; warm water and steady pressure favor a natural, slow presentation over reaction baits.
#3
Yo-Zuri 3D Inshore Popper 90
Color: Pearl · Size: 90 mm
Cast near current seams, docks, and shallow structure; work with sharp pops and pauses to create commotion. Stripers feed aggressively at night and will strike topwater in shallow zones.
Waning gibbous moon and night conditions favor topwater on the Severn; warm water and medium pressure make aggressive surface action effective for stripers hunting in shallows.
