The striper fishing has improved very much in the last two weeks. We are now experiencing some excellent fishing. Fish are predictable and in their regular summer patterns, last weekend I even had fishing chasing bait on the surface for well over an hour. They are taking flies very well and I would venture to say that fly fisherman will catch more fish than even bait fisherman for a while. I expect that the bigger fish will show up any day and the most fun part summer striper fishing will be here. I look forward to the fish moving onto the shallow flats that line the Saint George and allow you to try for fish you can see. Last week also produced the first bluefish of this season, he was alone but because it is so early I am guessing that we will have a few around for a good part of the next two months. While I usually do not target them they do provide a little variety to the fishing.
