Short fish were a tad more up the creek than the keeper stripers. Down lines 30, 37, 20 and 18 and shallow boards. I got four keepers back to back to back to back Saturday and Sunday mornings in a few hours along with several shorts. If you are getting shorts, move down the creek just a tad. Pulling bait is a pain in the behind due to the trash but it's worth it. Put out a lot of bait and cover ground until you find them. The fish I found chased quick baits just fine.
