I still haven't caught a striper About 3-4 years ago I was fishing IBSP just about every weekend Oct through Nov. The one weekend I went up to the Poconos to hunt was the weekend the striper run happened at IBSP lol. That same fall a feeding frenzy came right up to the shore line and whatever I had hooked destroyed my reel while I was bringing it in so I pinched the line and started walking it up the beach and it bite the line. I ended up going home with a trashed reel, lost my favorite popper and no fish lol.
