Hold over Stripers. Who's fishing

[Crest Daddy]

I might try where the pequonnock empties out into the sound in bpt sometime this week. The word is that last february dudes were accidentally snagging stripers there they were so thick.

To get back to the original train of thought for this thread, I find that pearl, white and silver work well for early season stripers. What type of lure is up to you.
By early, I mean March and April.
The key is finding where they might be heading when the sun warms up the water in the shallows.
I have a couple of "go-to" spots that have dark muddy bottoms that warm up rather nicely in late winter/early spring.
I have gotten stripers as early as the first weekend of March right through April. Just like in summer, you also need to know the tides for optimum opportunity.

Tim - are you driving far for those fish, or are they closer to home? Don't want to know exactly where - I already have somewhere nearby planned for next month, though I don't expect to catch anything.
