I'm new to the area so I'm not much help. The surface temp on Sat was 59-61. Maybe that plays a factor as well as it has 't been cold enough to put them in the winter feeding mode yet. I noticed that the pressure has been steady and hasn't really dropped to put them in a surface feeding mode as well. The few gulls I saw were diving sporadically, though I couldn't tell what they were diving at.

Lake Lanier in GA has bluebacks, but the stripers still feed on the surface there (recently). There's probably more fishing pressure there than on Martin as well.

I wonder if the heat last summer put a lot of stress on the stripes here and killed off a lot. But then, I don't know if this last summer was any hotter than normal.
