I myself prefer late night or early morn. Stripers are notorious for eating while dark but plenty of people hit them during the day to so either way.

An hour or so before and after high tide seem to be most productive. Also, right around sunset. Sunrise might work too, but not for me.
I put in another two hours this evening - nothing. Saw one short pulled in and another larger fished hooked but lost. Guy couldn't tie his rigs properly. He probably lost four or five in an hour.
I'll be back for igh tyide tomorrow afternoon. |

I am still unsure if I should take the 40-60 minute ride out there.
I keep hearing mixed reports!!!

I officially have the skunk on. Been out everyday this week - and an evening or two - with not a damn thing to show for it. I lost a 30 incher on Monday, right up on shore, and barely a nibble since.
I am using this forum to exorcise my fishing demons in the hopes that the fish will be more cooperative in the future. So, as the famous fish exorcists of the Carribean chant to the fish gods, "Here fishy, fisht, fishy. Here fishy, fishy fishy."
If I could figure out how to post a picture I'd show you the last fish that I caught - surely a sign of bedevilment.[/img] |

A little bit of everything in every color imaginable. Pencil poppoers, swimmers, bucktails, bucktails with sluggos, shad lures, rubber eels.... I also tried some herring at O'Sullivan's Island. Nada.  |

| It was slow at the Audubon Thursday. Every striper that fly fishermen were landing was under the average schoolie size. |

Out at dawn on O'Sullivan's. Skunked again. Very low water, with lots of flotsam. Nothing breaking, nothing biting.
Anyone seeing any action lower on the Housy? Down in Stratford or maybe Sunnyside? |
