You have to love the end of summer season, beginning of fall...For as bad as the summer has been I have almost gotten as many stripers in the last 3 trips as I got all summer long....

The lastest trend for me is shallow water, near drop offs, find a clam bed to sit over and throw anything that looks like a clam...Sea Clams, Clam Snouts, Stinky Old Clams...Doesn't matter....

And the best part is that its all been on a half ounce sinker worked across the bottom with a trailing hook....

Got Perch, Stripers, and even a small blue, and a crab today...

Time of day has not mattered much at all, however, I have started to see Stripers breaking the surface for bait around dark....Hope its a sign of good things to come...
