The good news is that I must have seen about 6 quality pike just sitting motionless near the bottom. There was a couple times that I actually casted and had the spinner bait pass inches from the fish and they didn't even move. The only way that I got them to move was to have the spinner bait hit the fish on the side while reeling in.
I even tried switching up to a soft plastic and twitched it inches from the fish, but still no interest.
I think it's time to devote all my time to deer hunting and striper fishing.
I hope to still read a few reports on the river and best of luck to those who get out !!!

striper fishing on sand or kayak? I went a couple weeks ago and dragged some eels around at night, the bay was still filled with small bluefish and mullet but no bass around. from the sand I haven't been out yet, but it should be picking up really soon.
