A few of us were out there about a month ago but fished from shore. Nothing to brag about. We were right at the super low bridge. We picked up several smaller eyes from medium fatheads dragged along the bottom. I picked up a couple smallies, one off x-rap and one off jig and minnow. One technique that I definately want to try is using cut up bluegill. One guy caught a huge, probably 15+ lb striper using this method.
As far as the bait shop, we used medium roaches and crawlers the previous outing when we rented the boat from Greybeard's. Steve is a super sweet dude. I'm not much of a roach user so I couldn't tell you the quality of them but they seemed alright to me. But, I can tell you that the crawlers he had were the largest, plumpest, juiciest crawlers I have ever used.
Jason threw chicken livers the size of baseballs but didn't hook up. Hope that helps and good luck out there. I'll have to head out there sometime soon.
