Had a fun trip :-)

No monsters. But I caught 4 Striper's today from 10 to 16.2 lbs. They all fought great. All were released.

Oh, and hey, here's a cool one....

Remember, I'm fishing in really shallow water, 2 to 8 ft, depending on the tide. So, it was maybe only 4ft at the time. My Split Tail got whacked. So I'm waiting for it to start peeling line, but instead, I felt the Split Tail start frantically kicking and pulling. I look out behind the boat, in the direction of my line, and the Split Tail pulls enough slack to get all the way up on the surface.... all of the sudden, Whoooosh ! Splash ! Whooosh ! Splash ! I'm assuming it was the same Striper that whacked him the first time, but didn't eat him, gets up on the surface, and just goes ballistic ! Took him a couple passes, but this time he caught and inhaled it I let it peel line for a few seconds, then engaged the reel and the fish pretty much close-lined himself ! Fought great too ! I guess he was pretty fired up

That one was about 12 lbs, but that was so cool to see the action on the surface.

Anyway. here's the 16.2 lb'er....

Peace,

Well yea...... until the rain started coming down at about 2pm. I stayed on the water after that, just long enough to get everything completely soaked. Thank god for insulated gortex
