We are in one heck of a slump of fishing reports...Is anyone getting out ? I know the heat has been a problem for many, but I also know that quite a few of us have been out...

Guess I will start with what I have found over the last 10 days or so...

Biggest thing that has happened is the breaking fish have shown up in number for me...Mostly on the east side and certainly around Love Point, but I have also found fish on Belvedere as well...Have to pick through the small ones but I always seem to find enough keepers if I wanted to keep some. Last time out the largest was a fat 27".

Last two times out the plan was to chum, but honestly there were so many fish feeding I skipped the chum and jigged or used top water lures.

I have gotten a few blues (small) mixed in with the stripers that have been breaking but not much to write home about.

I have continued to find smaller perch, spot, and croaker in areas under 10 feet keeping gulp or fishbites blood worms on the bottom and drifting over ledges or humps.

The fishing has been good enough for me that I have not been south of the bridge in at least 6 weeks, maybe more.

How is it going for those of you who get to go fishing a lot more than I do ?
