Night Striped Bass We had 2 Striped Bass boats sail tonight and Capt Carl reports that both boats struck out. We were stuck with the outgoing ebb tide all night against the wind which has been a struggle for us all season long. There are still plenty of fish around, but they just have not been eating for us on the outgoing ebb tide. Next Friday night and Saturday nights trip will both have the very productive incoming flood tide and we are looking forward to being out there!
