Title: Stripers Up and Down the Ocean County Beaches
Post by: Capt. Ed on May 03, 2007, 10:28:08 PM

Hi All,

I went for a ride with some friends this evening and for grins we started throwing Pearl Storm Shads from Bay Head down to Ortley Beach. The Stripers were all over the place from a few hours before dusk through 9:00PM. We left them biting.

Now that the schoolie fish with some over-wintering (local) cow stripers are being caught, it will soon be time for the spawned out cows chasing the bunker out of the Chesapeake Bay, Delaware and Hudson Rivers to join the party.

Get your BIG top water lures out guys ... this has the making of an awesome run!

Great info Capt Ed.  The spring run should be awsome from the reports that have been coming from the Raritan guys.  Keep the reports coming guys.  All info is valuable.

We'er going out on Sat. afternoon and if they are really biting maybe Sunday morning.  I got all my top water rigs ready to go, I can't wait.

Even have a new grill already to have dinner on the beach on Sat.

Now I really can't wait.  I'll have my cell on so give me a call I'm in the contact forum.  I will be monitoring ch 68 on my mobile and if any hams are out there I will be on either the .835 or .910 machine, call is N2HYG name is Paul.

Good luck to all this weekend... TT^
