The weather is cooler, the water is cooler, but the striper fishing is heating up!  They are still a bit north but since I am sailing from Margate, I can get to them.  I still have some dates open and I will be fishing through the weekend of December 10.  The fishing was fantastic during this period for the past 2 years, and I believe that it will repeat this year.  The boat is seaworthy, very fishable, and WARM when he cold winds blow.  We never take any spray in the wheelhouse as well.
