I haven't been talking much of late ( on line) but I'll add my .02....I've got a few years of striper fishing under my belt.. over 40 years to be exact... I've seen the good the bad and the ugly... the last 25 years I've spent all my fishing time from plum Island and the surrounding bays and rock piles 10 miles in any direction from both boat and surf...the last time I hadn't caught a 40lb fish by this date was 1996... as of today... 6/23 I haven't broken 20lbs...and not for lack of effort... I spent last week on vacation fishing dusk to dawn.. slinging eels.. and trolling plugs on wire.. all in places that have produced large and extra large fish the month of June since ( and before) the early 70's... I caught plenty of fish... none over 17lbs...most 8-10 lbs.. ..Friday morning I rented a cabin in the mountains to take a break... the farther north you fish the more you will feel the pinch...I expect a few "big fish" to show this week.. then again.. I felt the same about last week....this isn't meant to be a rant or complaint.. just one mans experience that seems to mirror what's being said by other fisherman that know how and where to fish...maybe it's time to dust off my down riggers and salmon rods...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
