Its not a Striper but I figured you all might like this.
We'll I had a few friends call tell me they were catching some black drum through the week off of the surf, so we(me,chris jr,hunter, and a friend of mine)had to make a run down.We hit the beach sat 6am, caught skates and dogfish all morning on after another, at a little after 1pm my rod doubles over and after a 20+min battle my first black drum of 09 is on the beach @ 49.5"L(friend took the girth I'll post it later) took some quick pics & measurement and got her back in the water and sent her on her way for someone else to catch again.
Bait of choice was sea clams, on a fish finder rig with a 8/0 circle.
