Went out around Hole 33 about 6:30. Fished some anchovies for a bit with just nibbles. Saw a big boil (lasted awhile). We hit it first and got 4 out of it.
No boats in site, then all of a sudden 4 other boats were on the boil! They jumped around for a bit. Got 4 more, had to throw 1 back. All about 1 - 1 1/2 lb's. Off the water at about 8:30pm.

Nice! Sounds like after work is the best time for some action. Just after the sun dips in back of the mountains. But it is still light enough to see.

Not necissarily. Gotten reports that the fish are boiling all through the morning as well, and some in the afternoon if you can find them.
I know the shad they are chasing are small, so maybe downsize bait a bit. I had a large Wild Eye swimbait on. Couldve probably gotten a few more with a smaller one I think.

I agree with Stripercraze on this one. I personally find that striper fishing is best right after sunset and all through the night (up till 2-4 a.m.) I'm curious to hear that they were nibbling on the chovies but they weren't taking them. I think you're right. The pieces were too big for them, which means there was a school of small stripers. I'm talking ones the size of your hand. It gets really frustrating when I encounter schools of these small stripers. I find that casting about 10-20 yards beyond them may bring larger stripers. But that's not always the case. Anyway, good luck next time.
Best regards,
Paul
