l wonder if it is not too late for striped bass fishing around this area. Thanks. Tight lines.

Hey there,merry x-mas man!Here is the deal,there is a population of stripers that stay year-round in most of the bays out along L.I.&the sound,I've caught fish this late in the season,but it is work!Secluded tidal flats,mud banks,''powerplant runoff''(hint)look for these types of areas.Also the seasons over,no catch&fillet,OK?If u do not have any luck out on the bays u could always go deer hunting,bag a deer&use the tail to tie ur own lures for spring(hence bucktails)!If that is not yuor speed,check out a book by John N. Cole,Striper,it is my favorite ever!It is out of print but u can get a used copy pretty cheap on amazon.com.A great way to kill a couple of snow days.Tight Lines backya

not many stripers are in new york this time of year. they are down in virginia til spring
