Thursday was the first day in over a week when weather conditions were more favorable for fishing so I headed out. Arrived at the striper spot around 12:30pm to find most of it locked up. Setup was a 7' Daiwa Procyon MH/PENN Fierce 3000.
Was still able to cast into productive areas but after about 45 minutes of playing with different lures and not getting a single hit, I decided to head over to Short Beach.
When I got to short beach I noticed tide was coming in but getting close to peak high. Stuck with the FLR-10 and hit the same areas as I did that day last month. Got 2 hits but no hook sets. Saw birds circling 1 certain area often which was where I'd occasionally smell something fishy.
After about an hour at Short Beach I headed over to Sniffens Point. Current was pretty strong over there and never got a hit.
Before calling it a day I hit the striper spot once more for about 20 minutes but nada.
Hit the road around 3:45pm |

Youd think with your extremely heightened sense of smell uoud be able to smell where the fish are all the time. I on the other hand went scouting for a new spot seeing as how everyone has moved into where I fish thanks to all you spot burners on this and other sites. Hopefully no one saw me to advertise it.

Come to think of it, you got it on the dot. It was prob raw clams also attracting the seagulls cause it was right near shore.

Not as much ice on striper spot today . Sunday should be the best chance of catching some final fish of the season there. I like my coffee light with no sugar...

Checked out the place today with my waders and a 7 foot Okuma Tarvos/PENN Fierce 2000/10 pound Spiderwire setup.
Spent 45 minutes throwing the traditional FLR-10 and other lures. Also tried doing a stop and go retrieve with a spotted minnow SXR-10 but no luck.
Today's water and weather conditions were very much like the day I started this topic.
I'm hoping this predicted 3/4" of rain will do a job on it. |

the ice will be gone but the water will still be cold. You are looking at the beginning of april for any action over there, if it warms up
