Default What bait is holding the stripers?

From the reports that came in before the storm, the stripers were thick on the northern grounds. They evidently had been thick for awhile. I know the sand eels are attracting bass into the surf much farther south. I’m guessing that the sand lances are the ones that are holding the fish up north. Am I wrong?

Shouldn’t that bait have moved closer to the beaches. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking to hope for them to move in from where they are now because it will take a long cast to reach them unless they do. If those “eels” can stay inshore during the summer, we might have some incredible fishing for a variety of species.
