Thread: Norman 5-1

The striper bite is still going strong.

fished from 5-dark. didnt have a single fish until about 45 minutes before sunset. Then it was a literal firedrill until then. on 2 occasions had 6 on at once (mostly 13 inch hybrids) with several good striper mixed in. Herring does the trick as always.

Met CDCer Squid Row out there and he had equally as much luck.

Hey bruce. That fish for sure came from that stocking from the club years back. Last year i caught a handful in the 4 1/2-5lb range...i believe it was actually about 4 years ago. I can confirm that we have been wearing out 12-13 inchers the last many trips...2 more years those fish will be in the 4 lb class. THEY GROW QUICK, and norman now has the bait to sustain them!!
