CSVENCER, Your best bet right now is one of the three bridges at night either trolling or anchoring up and casting toward the bridge. Trolling you can use like a stretch 25, shades, or just a buck tail with maybe a few ounces of added weight. You troll down the bridge allowing the tide to pull your baits closer to the pilings. I perfer to anchor and cast if the stripers are hitting the surface. I just anchor up about thirty feet or so from the bridge with the current pulling the boat toward the bridge. I try to anchor between to pillings (more to cast at) under a light. Daytime fishing you need to chum with menhaden while floating chuncks back on a large hook. The big stripers are not here yet but they should be here pretty soon.

Evigli, Good to hear you found a few. Out going seems to work the best at the HRBT and most of the time they do not hit on a slack tide. The bigger ones are not here yet in any real numbers but you can get lucky. Remember to keep an eye on the regulations for stripers as they change from month to month or atleast it seems that way.

We all need to hook up one night and go fishing. We are within miles of each other and Evigli you have to head by our area to go fishing.
