Had the Craig VonOrden Annual Striper Charter aboard today... Craig couldnt make it due to last min circumstances but the rest of his crew was there to get a crack at the big bass..
Well guys the Red Hot Live-line Striper fishing Continues!!! Some days are tougher than others but the big fish seem to pop up somewhere everyday!!!
Headed out and made bait local pretty quick and then Capt Freddy topped of the well for us!!!
Looked around local both north and south in the bait and deep but no takers... heard of a bite to the north so we worked our way up there stopping on the way.
Got to a Pod of excited bait just north of belmar and had 4 Bites right away only connected on 1. Thought we were in but that was the end of that.
Was heading up further north and ran over the mother load of reading.... Put the baits out and they all got crashed... boated 3 More and Lost a couple.
Looked around but couldnt find the good marks again... stopped on scattered reading and made long drifts... had lots of bass playing with and trailing behind the baits but they were hard to get to commit.
Managed to pick one here one there... then got a couple good cracks at them with them crashing 2 or 3 at a Time.
Kept Working it, getting bites every drift. got a got shot at them our last couple passes to top off the box.
Amount of bass popping and swirling on baits was pretty crazy... though picky to eat the guys fished hard make the most of the good run offs and put a great catch together!!!
By days end the guys had over 30 Bites Boxing 5 man limit plus 4 bonus fish to 36lbs!!!
Crew was a Blast looking forward to seeing them in the fall.
Thanks again Guys!!!
5 TRIPS in a row with Limit+ catches to over 30lbs+ and a Bunch more personal bests!!! The bite is on now is the time to land a big one!!!
