Shorty stripers and shad are running in the Indian River Inlet the past few mornings. The bite went from soft plastic paddle tails to anything silver. Couple of fun mornings.

Fun morning but stripers under the size limit unfortunately, they went back in to grow up for next year.

Hi Pete, I don't eat them because of the bones, they have a lot of tiny bones that make it a chore. A friend told me he has cooked them slowly in a smoker and it dissolves a lot of the bones but I'll pass on that. They are fun to catch especially with light tackle. Good luck and tight lines.

Nice fish Harryb, when were you there? I was on the beach at Conquest Sunday afternoon and caught nothing but rays. Knew I should have hit the inlet instead.

Hi Craig, the pictures were from Sunday and Tuesday mornings. The stripers were hitting Sunday and then the shad took over. There have been a lot of fish caught in the inlet the last week or so. I fish in the south pocket close to the rocks. Once the beaches open I'll have to find a new spot as that is a guarded beach. I must live close to you as I am in Ocean View also. Good luck!

Nice catch on those shorty strippers and the shad. I live here in Longneck and have been fishing the inlet and surf above and below the inlet..
