Everyone is watching the striper scene. Although really big fish are to the north, anglers are enjoying decent-sized fish mixed with the schoolies. The school-sized fish are available most everywhere in lower bay waters, with the outgoing tide providing the best luck. Plenty of school-sized fish are hitting at the Hampton Roads Bridge-Tunnel and the Monitor Merrimack Memorial Bridge-Tunnel. Casters working the pilings near the 3rd and 4th island tubes at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel, especially at first light, are hooking dozens of fish to 28 inches on Wind Cheaters and Storm Lures. Boats wire-lining and live baiting over the tubes are finding a larger class of fish to 34 inches. Shore casters are hooking rockfish to 30 inches under the Lesner Bridge.
