Took Chris_JC out for his "bachelor party" with brother Brian and Capt. Dieter. We fished north of Lamertville in the cold and damp, putting together a respectable catch of smallies, stripers to 18 inches, a chunky channel and a fat eel. Thought the 20 degree drop from Saturday was gonna hurt our chances, but we made a decent showing. Water level was on par for the fall, visibility was 4 feet and don't have a temp. Always a good time with the brothers and Capt. Dieter. Thanks Dieter and Congrats to Chris!!!

Nice mixed bag, always a good time. Looks like real striper, not hybrids? How far up the D can u find the true stripes?

As far up as Narrowsburg NY. They catch em up to 30 lbs at the bridge. Also I ice fish there sometimes and jig walleye up out of 90 feet of water. 100% Striper, they live in the BIG D!

Jimmy, ditto what PAMonger and Eddie said. Stripers come up through the Delaware Bay to spawn in the Big D in the spring and their offspring reside there for a few years before making their way out.. There are many more BIG fish in the Big D in the Spring, but there is no doubt that some hefty fish hang around all year.
