You can get them in June. However, your window of oppertunity is much shorter and there are typically less fish up. It can also be more sporatic in terms of where they come up.

Why do you guys think they are slow right now? I would think this should be the prime week for them in a normal year.

The month of May is and has always been the month for the night bite. It is the most consistent and tried and true month for the Alewife to spawn thus the reason the linesides are on the bank to start with. The month of April can be good and it can be spotty to bad depending on weather patterns. The weather this year has sucked and has made for a bad April. Hang in there it will get better as them ole Alwife's get up there making noise and doing their thing, May is the month.

I don't like the full moon. My buddy loves it. I just don't have the confidence fishing at night when I can see my crankbait hit the water. Darker lures might help. As for the dark side of the moon, I like to throw all white, white redhead, red back, chartreuse, both deep and shallow divers depending on what the stripers are wanting that night. Nothing like having a striper hit your crankbait at night.
