That length rod should work if your using a baitcaster. A lot of Largemouth Bass baits will work-topwater lures, plugs, swimbaits.
Obviously you'll need a different rig if you are fly fishing, including a longer rod.
We use a little shorter rod's(6') here in Ark. for stripers. We use live bream/sunfish for bait.
I'd suggest "live bait" for the area.
Good luck and good fishing.
I use 6.5 and 7 foot medium action rods for stripers. Use whatever live bait is prevalent, or use chunked bunker or clams. Good luck.
