One from Friday, 46" 34# ,we got quite a few 30#+ fish between 4 of us. Fished 14 hours , great day.
Nice fish!!
Wow what a slob! Nice fish. Whereabouts do you fish? What were ya using?
Launched out of Lynn, MA yesterday. This was caught on dead mackerel.
Going down to sandwich for a couple days next week, is it too late to fish the canal or have they mostly passed on?
How do you cook stripers so they taste good? Every time I try to cook them they don't come out so I like them.
See above, also trim off the red meat.How do you cook stripers so they taste good? Every time I try to cook them they don't come out so I like them.

I also use ritz crackers but mix them with bread crumbs, and some parmesan cheese. Dip filet in melted butter, a little lemon juice on top , cover filet top and bottom in the mix. I cook them in a baking pan but I use a cookie rack in the pan, this allows the top and bottom of the filet to keep the coating on it making a better crunchy type coating. You could add some italian seasoning to the mix prior to coating also, gives it extra flavor.How do you cook stripers so they taste good?

Can't freaking wait for the CT River striper run. So weird to be able to catch them in my bass boat, on the CT River, right near Sprinfgield.
Hopefully the local bait guy got his license back and will be able to sell live eels again.
Don't rinse the fillets with fresh water.How do you cook stripers so they taste good? Every time I try to cook them they don't come out so I like them.
The heartbreak is what keeps you coming back..did you pull the hook? Knot or line fail?I suck at this. Lost a good one in the Merrimack this morning. [sad2] I just gotta find time to do it more. I can only get schoolies. Never got a keeper from shore. I'll keep plugging away I guess
