Let's try this again....

Charlie,

First off, I second Marty's thoughts...Great to have a really good report and a really great guy back on the board....

Agreed on the bait and the dinks....Seems like it has been going on since late last year...tons of bait, with little or nothing working under it...Seems like the best stripers I find are often by themselves or in very small schools.

I have had a lot more luck this year in less than 30 feet of water, than above... Channel edges have been great to me in deeper areas but some of my best fish, especially in the summer months have come around structure and less than 15 feet.

As I have told others the northern bay has given me a number of fish over 24" in the last two weeks...I think its going to be a great fall run....

Good luck to all....

Mike
