Fish Chris Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 No big ones yet, but yesterday I finally had some decent Striper action, using live 12" to 13" Split Tails (they just look like a big, silvery minnow). I ended up with one about 8 lbs, a 10.5 lb'er, and a 12.1 lb'er. Will post a photo of the latter two here.... Anyway, supposedly the bigger ones are going to be following closely behind. Geeez, if I were a hard-core Striper guy, I think this would be the time to take a vacation ! (but I would not trade this time of year, for my April Largemouth's :-) BTW, I LOVE my new fish photo cameras. If your interested, I will post about them in the "everything else" section. Great fishing to all, Fish Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Awsome pics FC. YOUR using bait as big as alot of fish I catch. Quote
huck Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 The big ones come later? My biggest striper is about 2#... I need more time on the water! Nice fish! Quote
Infidel. Posted September 25, 2007 Posted September 25, 2007 Nice linesiders! Were you in the Northbay/Delta area? Quote
Super User Jimzee Posted September 25, 2007 Super User Posted September 25, 2007 That half cocked smile kills me. Nice fish man. Quote

Fish Chris Posted September 26, 2007 Author Posted September 26, 2007 and hey Infidel, that was the East Bay, at the mouth of the Montezuma slough, and Suisin Bay, to be exact. BTW, I caught 7 of them yesterday, but none over 8 lbs. I only had one 13" Split Tail, and about 6, 6" to 8" ones..... Which was fun, because I scaled the Spit Tail gear all the way down to my micro-light :-) (the same rod I use to catch the Spit Tails in the first place !) My buddy was telling me that I was going to be messing around with that micro-light, and tie into that long sought after 40 plus ! I told him, I don't care, I'll land it anyway :-) In fact, in thinking ahead, I have actually been using my float buoy on the slack end up my anchor line :-) They want a chase ? I'll give em' a chase ! :-) Peace, Fish Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted September 26, 2007 Super User Posted September 26, 2007 Nice fish, great pics. 8-) Quote
Super User T-rig Posted September 26, 2007 Super User Posted September 26, 2007 Great stripers! Congrats! 8-) Quote
Infidel. Posted September 26, 2007 Posted September 26, 2007 Nice! I was out fishing Coyotee Point a few months ago and I was using my UL with 2lb and a little bead head nymph to catch shiner perch for bait. While I was reeling in one of the perch, a four pounder hit it and got hooked. Hell of a fight. Bet you had fun with yours! Those SW stripers fight much harder than the land locked ones. Quote
joez2872-ct Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 nice stripers / they look like the ones here in ct ....... Quote
mattm Posted September 27, 2007 Posted September 27, 2007 I wouldn't trade those fish for YOUR April largies either. Your largemouths are bigger than those fish. . Very nice fish though. Quote
