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?

went out of huntington park tonight at 7, hit the mmbt with eels over the tube and had a stretch 25 out. nothing for more than a hour. picked up and wwnt over to the hrbt. got in between all the boats at about the 3rd light pole back. lots of birds in this area. put eels out, casted to pilings with jigs and had the stretch 25 out. fished for about a hour and a half. not one hit. didn't see anybody else catching anything either. so packed it up and ran back, because i got to work and need some sleep.
so skunked again. man this sucks. so if any of you guys that are close to me and know where to go and what to do, i could use some help. so maybe i can talk you experts into going out with me or maybe you guys would let me and my father ride with you and get some experience. hope somebody did better than me tonight if they got out.
