Stripers, Blues and Black Bass, oh my!

[Master Bait'r]

Went out to a buddy's cabin out by the cape for a few days and hooooooooooooooooooooly smokes...  My shoulders are SHOT.  I don't think I've ever seen so much fishing action in a week as I just saw in a couple days.  Surf casting spooks, chunking with fish finder rigs, jigging out on the boat...  You name it, the fish were slammin' em.  Just the sheer number of the fish, the ferocity they strike with and the fight they put up in heavy surf was unreal.  I've been fishing in salt before, but NOTHING like that.    

 

Black Bass fish fry tonight with the crew, couldn't think of a better cap to my fishing season, as it's not panic time at work and I likely won;t see another day off until after XMas.  

 

I guess my only question is who wants to buy a bunch of freshwater bass fishing gear to fund a Van Staal?  Lol

Wait until you get into big game fishing for billfish, tuna, and sharks, freshwater bass fishing will never be the same.

Been deep sea fishing 2x in my life, both in the early 90s. 

King Mackerel's over 4' and lots of 'em. False Albacore, blues,

and much more. Great times, though I'm not exactly built for

that, as my belly needs at least 2 or 3 Dramamine to get me

thru the trip, LOL.

 

Your trip sounds absolutely awesome. Good luck on getting 

a Van Staal.

Yeah, it's a nice summertime getaway treat for sure.  There's so many different things to go for.  Delicious, delicious things.

After you experience heavy striper action angling for the green striper is never the same. You even approach it different, which can be a good thing. Instead of dragging a worm or flipping a senko, you might get out early and throw spooks along the weedlines. Striper tactics for bass can be big-fish tactics.
