All the croaker have moved out for the winter but the stripers are running pretty good. We went out yesterday and was met by 4 foot seas (this time of year you can onl fish in the ocean) but we did bring home 5 stripers ranging from 34 to 43 inches. This link says its opening in spring 2009 and it looks pretty impressive. The only time I ever fish from a pier is in Nags Head NC as I have a free pass to one that is within walking distance to my parents cottage.

If you like croakers check out this croaker a friend of mine caught which set a new WORLD RECORD. I think I hear their story at every meeting our club has and the funny part was they thought it was a state record and latter found out they where talking world record.
