This past weekend the fishing finally broke open. We landed 20 stripers between 35-48 inches. 4 fish were 40-47 lbs. All fish {%image_id=38847%}{%image_id=38846%}were landed using live bunker, 3 of the largest fish were safely released. Bluefish are in the mix chopping on the baits and allowing the stripers to finish off the easy meal. Plenty of bait has allowed us to feed the blues and still catch big stripers. Fish are not everywhere but we have been able to locate them with perseverance and a fast boat. Reports indicate the Hudson bite is slowing which means fishing will only improve in the near future.
