Looks like a great day on the water

What do you guys use for stripers this time of year ? How big was the blue ?

Not too hard, just messing around with Mann stretch 25's. the Blue was small, maybe 8 lbs or so. Much larger ones coming on the chunk.

Hey PAUL, pgoins, I'd never wake a fellow truth'r

I am always on 68 & 72 "FREEDOM" just give me a shout if you are out there. I fish Raritan and south all summer, until I run out east to Block. Have a great season.

Hey Johnny, were you trolling those 25's on braid? I went out last week and only hit Blues.
I don't want to use my umbrella shads when blues are gonna rip em apart.
I'll monitor 68 & 72 "Strike Zone"

Yes, 60lb power pro with an 8' leader of 60lb flouro. I let out anywhere from 100-150' to get down 20-25 feet. I also troll very slow, 1.5-2.2. Good luck with it.
