Can't wait the hear those clickers screaming.

Jerry,
In my experience the cold winters produce the best striper fishing. When they bite early they leave early. Everyone has cabin fever and wants to wet a line. Nothing better then when the bass bite in the bay thru June! Remember years ago NY didn't even open until May 8. Got some real good PB capts. in Atlantic Highlands and they are going to carry bunker. The bass fishing in the pm is real good in the bay also and the nite Capt has a ton of experience. Going to be interesting.

I hope your predictions are correct Sal... Looking forward to getting the boat ready ASAP to take full advantage of the spring bay fishery again this year.

I know most anchor but on a nice calm day when the tide is not moving too fast, we've had some luck drifting chunks too, especially in certain areas when your marking fish on the sounder.

I can hear the clickers screaming already

If you chunk it they will come!!! The cheapest thing is your mono so change it now not after you break off your PB striper! OK the same goes for braid. No matter how many posts or suggestions are put here on this board about braid being a night mare on a Party Boats fishing for bass and blues it falls upon deaf ears. Mono is easier to handle and more forgiving than braid.Fluke yes bass no! I am strictly talking Party Boats.
