Thanks RAP - I've been seeing the reports. You know me, I have to know what's going on. I usually get a picture of what's going on by going to 4 or 5 sites a day and getting reports. As you know, striper fisherman don't like to tell you much, especially the charters but some are better than others when it comes to info.
So, all a inland rec like me can do is read as many reports as possible and fabricate their own idea of what's happening.
From what I've gathered, its exactly as you say - 40 to 45 mile run from OI then its hit or miss - one day balls to the wall limit out in 15 minutes and next day hunt and peck and hopefully scrape out a limit. Problem is your fishing time is severely limited when you have to do so much running. :-/
Check out these pics from one of my ol standby charter sites. This guy said screw it and moved his boat from OI to Rudee this year. Looks like its paying off too. These pictures truly beat all I've ever seen! You can see each individual fish in the school! Musta been an awesome site. Lately he's been catching over 100 fish a day.
