where's the keeper?

[phester]

never made it out on the boat yesterday so I did a little surfcasting off the beach, same area as posted before. It was a repeat....thousands of birds about 4 casts out,they finally moved within reach. Managed 4-5 little schoolies and nothing more. Last year at this time I was getting 32"-42" every time out, all on eels. Just seems like the larger fish just have'nt shown up yet or have already left the area.You should do well out in Montauk or Block Island area...it is the Mecca for striped bass,good luck capnbent!
