Do the Gulf strain stripers stocked in Martin act differently than Atlantic strain?  I hear about Lanier fishermen catching stripers on topwater and around dock lights at night, but the only thing I hear about Martin stripers is fish deep.  I also never hear about Martin stripes tearing into schools of shad when it gets cooler.  I see gazillions of shad up Little Kowaliga in the fall, but most of the time, nothing bothers them except for the occasional school of spots or white bass.  Someone needs to tell those stripers that the eating is good up past Real Island!
