What a great story and even the pictures to prove the method works! Wouldn't surprise me in the least if you could get a variation of that setup/story/success published in a fly fishing mag.
On Easter Sunday I met a real nice guy, Dennis, who was anchored in flats off FC in his port-a-boat and he must have caught 50+ perch in an hour or two, almost every cast was a double hookup. I wonder if they are what the striper have chased upriver.
I've tried a few times now to drift through that same section of the VA side of the river with 4oz weighted Berkley Gulp eels...but only seem to get snagged on the bottom. Not even the blue cats want to eat them so you know it's bad! http://www.stripers247.com/phpBB2/showthread.php?t=17388
I'm taking a weekend off the river to head into the Shenandoah for some brookies - good luck guys! Hope to have a good report on Jeremy's Run on Monday.

Hat's to Dan D. for sticking with it this morning. He did the same to the striper in this photograph on the last drift of the day. As you can see he was well armed and may have come up with the best method to target Rockfish on a fly I've seen yet. The spinner you see was my weapon of choice.
