Got to the spot on the incoming and not a tap till the tide switched then it was on for half an hour. once the sun set completely and the tide dropped a few feet I called it a day. bait of choice is worms, now I just need to work out how to hook em without flying off on the second cast?? Maybe try some miracle string EarningStripes207 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EarningStripes207 Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Hit the same spot last night on the incoming, a few bass were feeding on top when I got there and as the tide flooded they came within casting range, wasn't able to get a hit on topwater but picked up my nicest fish of the year at right around 25 inches on a freshly dug sandworm dragged over the bottom. so far my success rate has been better than last year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roccus7 Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 Good news, but I'm still shutout with water temps at 43 °F, which is a good 14 °F below what means "stripah" in my hood.

cobblestone Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Excellent fishing today at low tide 10 fish between me and my friend all 23-26" if we had found are spot earlier and didn't move around may have landed a more.

Scott Charlton Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 Please tell me all of you are not having me on...Seriously? Multiple stripers in the above 20" range before June? Don't burn a spot, but are you in a river, a mouth, or the surf? I was thinking about digging a bucket of clams this weekend and through them on the end of a hook.

I was thinking about digging a bucket of clams this weekend and through them on the end of a hook. I would. Fish in the mid 20 inch range is pretty normal for 3rd and 4th week of May from what I’ve seen year to year. Not unusual to get small keepers either.

stormy monday Posted May 17, 2019 Report Share Posted May 17, 2019 I will say that all the stripers I've got so far have been low or close to low tide. Have not had so much as a hit at high tide yet (not that high is a great tide where I fish anyway) MB19565 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
