Fished with the Chris Dowicz charter targeting striped bass. Took a while to get them going today but the guys started out catching mostly 10-12 lb bluefish. The crew made a few changes and soon the guys were catching a steady pick of big stripers too all on bunker baits. They finished the day with 7 stripers from 15 to 35lbs and over 30 bluefish in the 10lb class.

Very exciting Striper fishing with the Barry Dayton party today, after collecting bait the striper action was on right away. The fish were boiling up out of the water , crushing the bunker baits. All big fish, the 3 man guys hooked up over 30 catching 15 stripers from 20-39lbs
