Early success depends on . . .
As a rule, good early fishing can be found at the mouths of rivers and at the top of bays and coves in warmer water areas. These places are either high traffic areas or offer the greatest availability of forage in the form of overwintering spotted killifish, silversides and migratory alewives. Jetties, protruding out into the Sound are always a good bet too, the one nearest a river or cove mouth often produces the best. From June on stripers separate into different niches in the ecosystem. Some schoolies and keepers remain inside bays and rivers if there is a consistent food supply.
