Hey, I didn't say Striper Collect on Delivery. (SCOD).

The Friday after Thanksgiving, I went fly fishing for Stripers with my son, the really good fly fisher. I got into the zone with the fly, the line and the rod. I caught between 24 to 30 keepers (which we released). He caught about 6.

Since then we have had our normal December monsoons and the rivers/delta are high and muddy.

Awesome day! I haven't had one like that in a couple years.

With this year's early snow, our water temps have dropped to around 40 deg already so it's mostly bottom fishing til Spring.(But I'm carrying a Mackerel and a Herring rig to catch and liveline one since I've heard there are some cow Stripers shadowing the migrations. Although the bass season is still open in Jersey, all this fishing would be well into Federal waters where you're technically should not even be fishing for them.)

What's a keeper out there and were the fish on any particular bait?
