On a hunt for stripes

[Andrushkin33]

Still here and still kicking.

For the last month and half been going strictly after stripers of both sweet and salt water.

All the way from Sea Bright to Staten Island looking for that big one from shore but so far come up empty. I know its salt water material I just combining it. Only got two so far, one from Sandy Hook and another one from Staten Island. Still upset for something bigger that I lost from Staten Island but live and learn.

Skates, dogfish, star gazers and ling are my usual surf trophies but I will get my 20 pounder + mark my words.

Hybrids on the other thing are still biting strong. Limiting myself to Spruce and to one hole that I have discovered which produces fish every single time I am out there. Bite slowed down at night in the last month but still producing regardless all shape and sizes.

One interesting fact that I have observed. I did not catch a single white catfish from their usual hiding spot this year. Not a single one, while last year they were in abundance. Come to think of it I did not catch a single white from Spruce all year long. Thoughts?
