As the 4th of July goes, so goes the season as the top water bite dominates the action and will continue shine through the Fall season. With my July and August dates now filled September and October have become the target. As most of you know, my dates fill quickly especially for the peak Fall and this year even more so, with my 4 week hiatus in mid-July for the birth of the kids. For a list of my remaining available dates for NJ 2008 e-mail me. The 2007 Striper season as a whole was a productive one with some very memorable days logged with mini blitz's popping up through out the back country offering fast paced action in the skinniest of waters. The last few weeks of the Spring season were purely top notch along with some incredible days in the fall fall with huge schools of migrating Bass making their way across the shallows in a fall feeding frenzy. It was a crazy unpredictable fall which never really seemed to get fully started until Halloween when the back country really showed its magic. The entire 2007 Bass season was very stealthy this year with a fickle top water bite and a red hot subsurface bite, but I must say that when they did hit on top water they were of quality, like on my 11/13 trip and when you found them "sub" they were thick as thieves 08/08, 10/22, 11/21. The 2007 season gave up only 02 trips out of 185 + days on the water that we came up fishless. This seasons largest top water Bass was taken by Bill Pfaff on November 13th in 1 foot of water (Photo)and the largest summer time Bass was caught by Vince Lombardi on 6/12 in 11" of water and the largest Bass over all for the 2007 season was taken on 10/31 by Wayne Chieppa in 4 feet of water a real trophy Bass (Photo).
