water was crappy all weekend till yesterday afternoon. these pics show why my pier has been the hotspot for the stripers. my pier is probably 100 foot long at most but the entire pier looks like this. and the bait will not leave. it just keeps getting bigger and bigger. caught a few stripers last night before dark....all keepers this time, but the tide was at almost high so not the right time to fire up the school. the outgoing tide is the frenzy for sure. sure wish I was retired so I could hit the tide right every day. I sure hope its a long fall and winter stays away till January so this bite can continue. haha

If you're trying to make me jealous, it's working.

Just wondering... is the end of your pier lite all night long? A lit pier all night long will really pull in the bait and bait pulls in the stripers.

One of the striper mysteries so far to me this year in my typical hunts of the Severn, Whitehall Bay and Prospect Bay is that schools of baitfish have been pervasive this summer, rippling over the surface or lighting up my FF screen with big orange clouds. However, stripers have usually not been near them -- or if they have they haven't found their way to my lures with consistency. I hope that is changing as the days shorten and water cools.

fishinggod -- Your post may cause those with summer striper pullage deficits to make a pilgrimage to your pier. I think there are many. Good luck handling the crowds!

Mark,

I make the offer almost every week. Moc and Mike are the only ones to make it over and when Mike showed up the water was not friendly. and when Moc showed up it was before the bait fun, however we did catch a bunch of good sized croaker. if the wind isn't coming out of the north then its expected to be fairly calm at my house. this weekend ill be working so no offer will be given till next week. I will say that the 8th to the 20th ill be on vacation so if any northerners can get away during the week, it would be a great time to come visit. weather permitting.

What are the GPS coordinates for this pier again!? Hahaha, very nice stuff.
I did get my Sebile in the mail. It's the 1.25 oz size. It's basically a jig head with a blade on the back. I like it.

As Mark said, I am one of the envious ones. Still,waiting for my first keeper of the season.

congrats on your new lure purchase Alan. if nothing else, its something different for the fish to look at. even under spin baits don't have this action. something unique and i cast it 90 percent of the time unless I'm trolling.

I could not help myself, I order a couple of the Sebile spin shad myself. Should be in this week.

[fishinggod]

crap Freddie T, i better order a few more myself before you all buy whats left in the system....haha. nah, glad i shared and i sure hope you all land great fish on em.

[Salty Dog]

Fishinggod, you better do that, LOL, since your original post, the pickins is getting slim on a lure that is not made anymore. Are you sure ya dont own stock in Sebile. Tight lines

[fishinggod]

ya my side business is helpin Sebile clean their left over shelves. haha. if that were so then i'd have my own supply. that sure would be nice. ill get online today at work and order a few extra before their all gone.
