What can I say, beautiful day on the water with some GREAT new friends and a bonus of some hard hitting, hard fighting, rod bending, line stretching, drag screaming hungry Stripers!
Met Shelton, young Seth, HL and Herb at the dock at 10:00 AM with a tank full of fresh and lively 6-10 inch shad, and in a short time after loading them in the boat we were baiting up to tempt some hungry Stripers, and they (the Stripers) didn’t disappoint at all!
Almost immediately, rods started bending, grins were in abundance, and fish after fish were led into the net as my guys started putting a hurt on a good school of hungry Stripers!!
Long story shortened, easily filled their legal limit (20) and gave lessons to a whole bunch of others who are still swimming how to bend rods again!
After about 4 hours we decided to leave the Stripers alone and maybe get a rod or two bent on some Blue cats! Gotta be honest, we didn’t fare as well today on Blues as last Friday, but we did miss a few hard rod bending hits and only boated one.
Regardless, it was a GREAT day, had some GREAT clients aboard, made some new friends, and we caught loads of quality fish. Stripers averaged a solid 5#s with a few bigger but not over 8#s.
Thanks Shelton, Seth, HL and Herb! Having a crew like you aboard makes my job as a guide, not a job, but just plain FUN!!
