I will be fishing the east Windsor bridge on 140 Saturday morning not sure if that's your cup of tea. I will be after stripers (if any are around)

Went out to East windsor bridge around 11:30am, guess thats still considered morning. I stayed for like 20 minutes. The wind was kicking up and it was too cold for me, went back around 3:30pm, not even a bite there.

On the bridge? It's a mixed bag. Cats smallies white perch and stripers are common we got a walleye last year on a sandworm. 17.5 inches. It's overall a fairly productive spot the only downside is using lures aside from jigs isn't happening from up top. But when I fish for stripers anytime other than early a.m. I use live/ chunk baits

How many feet are you dropping down from the bridge? I have never fished like that before from a bridge. I would think its difficult to net a fish like that

its a 40 foot drop or so.. when your hooked up on a large fish its about getting it to the surface then moving over to shore and going underneath the bridge to shore and grabbing it... sounds tricky but really its cake.

I would love to see how you do that, fishing from the east Side of that bridge I don't know how it would be done especially with a current.
