Wintering Over Spots Best Bet Right Now
The water temperature along the oceanfront has dipped into the mid forties. That spells the end. However, lots of stripers that winter over are now in those backwater places where they will stay throughout the winter. It's tough fishing. You'll find few guys willing to go out on a cold night below freezing in search of stripers in the middle of winter. Yet, for those who do venture out, the fishing can be surprisingly good. I have been fishing my winter spots for the last two weeks and it is one of the best winter starts I have ever had. Tonight I was out with only a few other guys. We had well over a hundred hefty schoolies among us. The temperature was a cold 28 degrees, but the fishing was hot.
