My buddy and I used to look forward to fall every year so we could hit some stripers at night. The last time we fished it at night(couple of years ago) the bite was way off. We caught a few stripers on Gizz 4's but they were short fish. We aren't coming back until the big boys start cruising again. The bite is different. Most times you have to wait a couple of hours after sunset before the stripers will start biting. Sometimes they wont start until 1 a.m. You just never know. I used to really look forward to this kind of fishing, but I think we will give it a rest for a few years.
