finally
Well I just wanted y'all to know that I finally caught some stripers. No keepers but 3 of 'em went 26 1/2" - 27 1/2". I was fishing in the merrimack in my buddy's boat. I gotta say those thing put up a fight!!!!! I can't imagine what a 20 pounder would do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for all the info guys...now I'm hooked!!!!!

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
