I will be heading out for the first time this season for the stripers Wed night or early thurs morning. I will probably do some casting w/ bucktails and storms and maybe some trolling with stretches and small umbrella rigs. The problem is i don't know which bridge to choose right now out of the JRB, MM, or the HRT? Any suggestions?

If I get to go tomorrow night I'll let you know how I do, planning on starting at the HRBT b/c that's the closest for me and work my way up river if necessary. Check back wednesday morning/afternoon should def post by then if I make it.

Tight Lines

i would try to fish the M&M chuncking menhaden i have done pretty good there ths year and i will be there tomorrow

if you go tto the jrb try the tower legs they have been holding nice fish.
try dead sticking a streach 25 suonds strange but it works

What is dead sticking, I can't imagin what your doing.

dead sticking is casting you're strech 25 out and let it sit. it catches the current and looks the same as it would trolling,but only at 2 to 4'. caught several nice fish this year doing this

My Dad decided to fish with his neighbor this afternoon so I'm left in the cold don't think I'm going to go it alone, not at night anyway. Guess I'll have to wait till this weekend, good luck to anyone lucky enough to be fishing tonight, enjoy the weather.

Dead sticking definately works. Set your rod to strike then flip it up when it starts screaning. It's a sure thing. Good luck

Dead sticking... that is wierd but if that is what is catching fish then i guess i will try it and i am guessing you are anchored when doing this? and another thing are people catching fish in the mornings? it seems all the reports are at night!!!!

You can definitely catch them during the day. Outgoing tide is the best for the Monitor Merrimac.

Dead sticking does work I do it at the hrbt and cbbt alot The hrbt has been good on incoming tide chuncking and casting yozuris and jigs I fished a night dont do much striper during the day but have hit them at m&m chuncking during the day but the first has been holding bigger fish at night .
