Finally a keeper striper

out CCC twice, PI　twice, skunked 4 times. Finally, the fifth time night fishing in PI got a keeper. That was the only bite I had all night.

Striper fishing is very very slow this year. As far as I know none caught much from shore.

Yep, lots of people noticing it has taken a while for the stripers to show up this year. A few nights ago I got 10 schoolies on northern PI but all of them were at least a couple inches too short to keep...but I had some fun!

i did awesome on schoolies in may! like normall!

anything big NOTHING!!! finally got my first keeper last week on live mackerel!!!

i hear people catching big fish in the usualy spots! but ill got out same spots wont get a hit or a follow! doing the same thing!!!

UGH THIS SEASON IS KILLING ME!!!

The stripies were in my usual Plum Island/Merrimac spots right on time this year, but I am determined, and struggling, to get Stripers in the Harbor down through Hull, Quincy Weymouth, etc.

willy68: That's a nice payout after the beatings.
