Fishing has been OK this week. The Striper bite early is hit or miss but when on, it can be outstanding. I&#39;m throwing a few different baits to draw their attention. Pencil Poppers, Magnum Pop-R&#39;s, Hollow Belly Swimbaits, and a High Powered Herring (slow sink). The HPH has been the best bait to actually get the Stripers/Hybrids to bite, most of the other baits have produced followers and boils and that&#39;s about it. The fish on the HPH have just exploded on it, most we had no idea were even there, they come out of nowhere and it&#39;s a vicious bite. This bite seems to last only approx 2 hours and it&#39;s over for the line-sides. As always there are some spots mixed in with the line-sides so you never know when the big spot will bite too.....<br /><br />After the morning I&#39;m switching to drop shots, jig head worms, and football jigs. 12-15 spots through the mid-day seems about par for now, but it&#39;s still a great time to catch a really big spot. The deep school drop shots/spoons will be here before we know it for those who enjoy that. Here&#39;s a few pics from Tuesday, all three were caught on the HPH.<br /><br />Drop me a line if anyone wants to get after a big salty or big spot. I have days open.<br /><br />LB
