I wanted to go tonight but I have a meeting. Get plenty of menhaden and get a good slick running by chuncking them up and tossing them out. I like to toss them off the front of the boat so they sink down under the boat as they float back toward the bridge. I also like to have a bag of chopped up menhade sunk down beside the boat to cover more depth. Then try to cover several depths by using more weight to get some down and some higher up. I just use a a chunk of menhaden on a hook and different size weights. The bend in the bridge seems to produce best but don't feel limited to that area. Some others have had good luck over the tube in around 25' of water. We also try just riding down the bridge looking for stripers hitting the top around the pilings then we anchor up. Good luck if you get out. What ramp are you going to put out at tonight?
