Spring Stripers?

As the Spring get closer, I was wondering when the "big" stripers might be hitting the Delware beaches. So being the geek I am - I went to the GAC database and queried all "keeper" Stripers (28" or bigger), caught in March, April and May (2018-2020), on the beach with 20 miles from Bethany Beach. Then graphed them :). Hope this gives our Surf Fishing Anglers a little optimism for the next 5 weeks. - Greg

No it’s not closed ever (Vincent 01/13/2021 20:17pm)

The only part that closes is the boat launch’s in Eldersburg md in the winter (Vincent 01/22/2021 05:14am)

I thought that the dam area was closed due to some damn corona virus regulations. (Delmarva Angler 01/23/2021 20:05pm)
