This time of year through end of summer it wouldn't hurt. If they are running or spilling the more the better.

They do not tend to hang around say a log on a point for long periods of time like a LM bass.

"Striper may be one place in the morning 2 miles down the lake by afternoon, and somewhere else entirely by tomorrow. Unlike largemouths, Striped Bass gorge themselves full, then won't feed again until their stomachs are empty. Also, Striped Bass are more light-sensitive and easier to spook than largemouth. You can put down an entire feeding school of Striped Bass for hours just by motoring over them or dropping something against the hull." http://www.arkansasstripers.com/arka...riped-bass.htm
