Strip, what does "tagging" striper mean? Are you literally applying a tag for some scientific reason? I just let all mine go after I tell them "thanks." Blues are nice and thick now!

My bad CTV20.... "tagged" simply meant caught. I hope to get back out on Thurs.

I think I am becoming a gamefish snob.... The blues are back in such numbers that I blow right by the schools a lot of times to get to my striper spots. ( once I have my fill of bait of course ) .

Strip, do you use the small blues for striper bait? Just curious.

Re: Surprise Weakfish !!
 

We use Menhaden or "bunker" either live ( very good bait ) or chunked for stripers. I also "tube and worm" for them quite a bit. The tube is an unbelievable way to catch the stripers very easily. I can almost guarantee a Striper when tubing. I am very curious what the tubes might catch down south a bit.

I hear you on the Blues, it does feel good to be able to leave or pass a spot filled with fish and not feel like you're missing anything. We are blessed.
