STRIPERS

NAVAJO 46

I dropped $4,000.00 to be ready for the Stripers to come into Oregon Inlet last year, and they never came South enough to make it into N.C. I understand the weather will be colder this year but what (who)is the most reliable source to determine how soon I can go?.

Getting some earlys off NJ/NY you need to run a drail about 36" ahead of your lure to get it down when trolling. That gets it under the blues or they will tear it up.

I got a call from my brother yesterday(SUN.)and he was out on the Del.Bay on a headboat.He got 1 keeper Striper 44" and 36#.He said he also boated a dozen or so nice Tautog,to 11#.Weather was good 65* and only a light breeze.Said the Stripers hit early in the day then,the bite tapered off to nothing. A few more were landed near the end of the trip,after the tide change.
Good luck to you all!!
