Hey guys, hope everyone has had a great summer. I’ve been itching to go striper fishing but have had trouble getting bait to even fish. I obviously want alewives, but my question to y’all is what time do you find is best to throw at lights, the earliest I could be out is probably 4:30 or 5. Do they start to scatter by then or is that a good time to try at lights? Thanks guys!

Generally that time should be ok, but the issue you may have is that the more popular lights will be hammered early in the am and the bait may be scattered.
I know it’s not an option for all but when I fish summer with ales I’ll try and get out about 10-10:30 and catch bait - with it often coming on really good by 11:30. Usually have the lights mostly to myself that way.
If you’ve found the bait appears to be scattered or from others throwing, don’t hesitate to throw some off the light - often the bait will be holding just outside of the light.
Remember - hot water is here - catch your limit and switch.....

If my light is producing in the morning. I will catch extra bait for you.
