Sorry but I don’t have much input for you. I have been fishing in Florida the last 2 weekends so no stipers in the boat lately. I will be out this weekend and try and smack the stripers around a bit if they will let me. All I have heard though is they have been slow, the last weekends I was out before I left it was slow for me. Hopefully a few days of warm weather has woken them up. Good luck, if you see a guy with a white center console don’t catch all my fish!
