Tough fishing the last couple trips. The stripers have done their disappearing act.
Saw and caught a good amount of bunker on the surface this morning and used them for bait. Others cast croc spoons and Ava jigs. But I saw very little on the fish finder and we didn't catch anything until we anchored and pitched clam baits. Caught a couple keepers and a few shorts and a few small blues.
Looked hard on our way home and made a couple stops but didn't catch any more.
But, we know how striped bass are --it could be a frenzy tomorrow-- just can't tell. One thing I do know is that they will turn on again, sooner or later.
