Had Matt, Evan, Al, Cindy, Tom, and Cool Hand Al today for some live lined stripes.
Loaded the well quick and made a move. Had fish blowing up instantly. Caught a few blues in the mix then.
Keep working the area and hooking tons of fish. But losing a lot of them. Fish were everywhere today.
Evan was high hook with Cool hand Al following close. Everyone else caught em good too. But also losing a lot of fish.
Ended the day with 11 stripers to 32lbs. Went about 11 for 50 today, no lie. Fish were tough to hook. All in all, action allllll day long. Couldnt ask for more. Crew was great. Thanks so much guys!
Had Jon, Nj Dave and the boys out today for a striper marathon with special guest mate Capt Jerry P. Started off with great condtions but missed a few fish.
Went on the hunt for a while and missed a few more.
Later on in the afternoon, we finally got em going good. 2 and 3 on at a time, but some breaking free tho. We ended up with 7 fish to over 30lbs. The fish were blowing up on baits for a bit, right next to the boat. Ended up being a great day. Going 7 for about 15-20. Pulled and turned hooks mostly. All fish live lined, no trolling here. The guys were great, thanks again.
Ran an open boat tonight with Dave, Aaron, Russ and Matt. Broke the inlet to a stiff se wind. Bunks were very hard to get, but we got a few. Set up shop on some lumps near some small schools of bait. First mystery fish spooled Dave in seconds. Matts fish didnt get the hook. Aaron landed a nice 30lb striper. And no luck for Russ. Tough night for live linning. We had a few shots but couldnt get it done. Had some pretty good readings of stripes but couldnt get em to eat. Thanks guys.
Sunday 5/6 we had Jim Garchowski's crew out for some stripers. Made bait a lot easier today. Filled the well and went looking. Stuck around the same area as Saturday knowing fish were around. Few run offs and lotttttts of moving around today. Had fish spraying bunker and blowing up on top, but couldnt get a hook set. After all day with about 10 bites/runoffs, we finally picked a fish. Then lost atleast 1 or 2 more. Toughhhhh day again today, but we gave it hell. Tried super hard and headed towards home at 4:30pm. The guys were great, even tho the outcome.
Saturday 5/5 we ran an open boat. Bait was tough to get but we managed some. Set up on the grounds and had a nice 30lb+ fish on bunker instantly. Was looking really good. Worked all over the place missing around 4-6 others. Tough day striper fishing for us. Crew was great. Gave it our all and Pulled the plug at 4pm.
