Striper fishing is getting good








I've been catching keeper size Rockfish on most of my trips, The majority have been small, but the last couple trips I've been finding fairly large schools of Rock that are all legal size. Lately it seems like the trick is to go while the tide is moving, A moving tide is usually the best time to go, but lately it has been even more important. I think it may have something to do with the warm water, the fish may be conserving their energy during slack tide. The White perch fishing is still also really good, I haven't had much trouble catching plenty of them when the tide isn't moving, which is a good way to pass the time while waiting for the Rock to bite. Some of the Perch are still Big to, my last trip out I caught another nice one at 13 1/2". I think it may be my new personal best. I really have a goal of getting one at 14" or over, and Im hoping it happens this year before the Bluefish start to take over in force and the perch bite dies down


P.S. The Catfish bite hasn't been to shabby either
