There is a little bit of everything out there right now the smaller stripes have been on top with sandbass under them early in 7-12 foot of water have to catch about 10 or so to get a keeper. Catching box fish mixed in with them. I have seen a few nice Striper caught with bait in that area last week.I have only been keeping striper if my peeps want them,and we have had enough sandbass on most trips to throw back the smaller stripers.Have heard some reports of sandbass on top in the evenings.Watch the graph ,and the top of the water some of the sandbass have been hanging of the ledges about mid day 18 to 23 foot deep.Most of the fish have had 1-2 inch shad ,or ghost minnows in them.
