oh wow! thanks guys! i guess ill be setting the hook at every twitch in the pole now! lol good info to know!

In December I got my biggest keeper to date. Thought it was a striper or catiish for sure,lucky to catch it because I waited so long to set the hook, for me never again, bite set. I have only seen the classic
pump twice in many hours on the water.

It is not always the "pump". Sometimes they do a tapping type bite. Usually a dink striper or flounder but not always! Few years ago fished the powerlines and we were getting all sorts of starry flounder biting. My striper rod was bouncing around like a dink or flounder so as I'm laughing about here goes another flounder I set the hook. That "flounder" took off like nobodys business and turned out to be a sturgeon. I have seen it numerous times.

thats what i thought but they looked to violent? didnt think dinos hit like that?

[icemannocal]

yup, thanks for the report and agree 100 percent on the striper bites not being what they seem..

[kromebrite]

Thanks for the report, skunks still provide information. Look out for "striper nibbles', sometimes things are not what they seem.
