Sunset Stripers

Fished with Scott, Mike, and Dennis last night at sunset. We hit the flats with poppers looking for stripers. Conditions were ideal and the fish chewed well. We caught and released about seven stripers to 26" and we caught two ten pound bluefish. The big blues were a nice surprise. We even had a double header or two. Striper fishing has been great this week. Pro Tip: Spring tides result in higher high tides and lower low tides every two weeks on the new and full moon. This results in more water flushing the bays than normal. This brings the water temp down and increases the oxygen content in the water. As a result, the stripers feed more actively during these times.
