Big D Trenton

[rooferbird]

Tried for stripes in trenton today for the first time, caught 6 shorts up to 22" and 10 or 11 channel cats in the 3-6# range, didnt get the monster striper I was hoping for but still a good active day, I'd like to night fish there after catching all these cats in the daylight

Bring a gun or a pitbull. It gets rough down there at night.

I guess bait and wait. Would those stripers chow down on say a Bomber ,Yo-zuri or Storm shad ?

[rooferbird]

bait and wait with some live and some dead bait did the trick today, I tried some rapalas, bombers, and big topwater but no takers, had one good drag screamer but it dropped the bait, the one that got away is always the biggest of the day

Are the herring still running? If not than you could be a lol late for keeper stripes on the lower BIG D!!!!! Sabiki rigs!!!!!!!!

[rooferbird]

i do think its on the tail end, i know some guys who caught nice fish last week and again on sunday, i am going to plan on getting down there earlier next year, I hear there can be some great action, I'll be throwing eels up here the next couple months

Sorry Eddie those days are long gone. From the NJ Fishing Digest:

Herring, Alewife and Blueback Herring : ALL freshwater streams, rivers and marine waters. CLOSED Possesion, take or attempt to take is PROHIBITED.
I think this is a FEDERAL law now, get busted, the G men will tow you away to prison.

Live line some white perch, you'll get your desired results. From now until early Sept the linesides will be around everywhere from Trenton Falls up to Hancock.

Yea those days are gone. I was just reminiscing. Thinking back to when the river Stripers would smash those giant Herring. I am definitely not going to jail for a baitfish.................
