I was a little younger.

It isn't much of a river as rivers go. Mostly a tidal slough. If you're not fishing off the dock at the Black Point boat launch you'll be standing in mud. Bring your rubbers.

The stripers are mostly little schoolies that come in and go out with the tide. I'm old-school and I cast hair raisers for them. Sometimes I'll put a bacon rind tail on the hook for extra action.

Sturgeon start showing up next month. Ghost and mud shrimp are good bait, but eel is better.

Casting over someone's line is a good way to get your line cut.
