Since my last report we've had boats out on guide trips every day and many things are working. Downlined bluebacks fished 20 to 25 feet deep over a 30 to 35 foot bottom are working well. Early most mornings and after 5 in the afternoon we are seeing busting stripers and spots on top.

These surfacing fish have bit Spro Dawgs and Spooks well. Freelines are still producing a few bigger fish, but not as many numbers as before. I have had a couple of customers bring along their fly rods and have done well around reef poles and on points when the fish have been up. If you get over there in the morning and you don't see the stripers on top in the first 30 to 45 minutes, you will be better off downlining.
