Lots of small schoolies hitting around my area at just about anytime on a good day. Been averaging about 5-6 an outing on small x-raps, sandworms and shiners, they hit almost everything. My buddy managed to pull out a hefty brozeback on a 3-4" lure, this fish was as thick as a brick. My biggest striper so far was 26" with a ton in the 14-26" class. Starting seeing some herring break the surface at a few spots but no luck on the bigger baits like bombers and plastic shad. Best times for me have been midday [10-3] evening [6-8] and late night [11-3]. Shore access is getting tough at the popular times like friday evening and weekends. Went from about 1-2 to other people a couple weeks ago to maybe 10-12 on the beaches on a nice day. Lots of people leaving their mess behind as well, seems like every time I go to my main spot I have to spend 20 minutes picking up after people. I mean I like fires and drinking beer too, but it is not that hard to put the trash & emptys in a plastic bag and take it with you. It takes a long time for a fire to burn a can, oh and [b:f63e1b5441]some idiots have been leaving without putting fires ou[/b:f63e1b5441]t. My trunk is loaded with bags of others peoples waste. Looks like I need to find some new spots. 24" at midnight [URL=http://img708.imageshack.us/i/gedc0028d.jpg/][img:f63e1b5441]http://img708.imageshack.us/img708/284/gedc0028d.jpg[/img:f63e1b5441][/URL] [URL=http://img214.imageshack.us/i/29753424008275630541975.jpg/][img:f63e1b5441]http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/882/29753424008275630541975.jpg[/img:f63e1b5441][/URL]
