Sorry but the stripers are up north in northern Virginia towards Maryland by now I'm guessing. We have some still coming thru North Carolina tho.

They've been up the Chesapeake, Delaware Bay And the Hudson for a while.

Go to ‘On the Water Magizine ‘. I get an email about every week. They have an up to date striped bass migration map.

You have the big cows yet or still schoolies.?

Schoolies mostly. I surf cast on western LI so I never see cows. The big girls are out east but its still a bit early for that I believe.

Picking schoolies on small white swimbaits. Biggest so far was 24” on clam. I’m lucky to take a few keepers from here each year. Same with fluke in season. Plenty shorts, few keepers.

The keeper fluke population is moving further and further east every year, for a few reasons not being properly addressed. Not many keeper fluke west of Moriches last year.
The bunker population is going strong which is good for everything out there.

I live in RI and we are starting to see striped bass everywhere. Things are really heating up. Obviously chewing the zoom flukes

Ditto what others have said. Stripers are migrating north and are being seen in good numbers as far as NY NJ & CT. Here's a report from a shop up in CT this past week.

March is generally the best month along the Georgia coast. I think Lake Lanier may be your best bet at this time...
