We are trolling looking for bird shows to catch the fat fall schooling stripers. Good very early morning bites and great evening bites have been the pattern this November. Weekdays have been the most productive avoiding the crowds of boats on weekends, but really all days have produced some decent to great fishing when they decide to eat.

Well, the season finally came to an end. We had a great fall run from mid October through December. The rockfishing was great and the weather cooperated most days. Fall is truly the best time to target fat stripers. The season should open back up again May 1st 2023. I will post a report once we get dates confirmed by the State. Merry Christmas. Have a safe holiday and winter season!
