This weeks action can only be described with terms such as World Class, Stellar , Awsome ,and a Stiper Maniac Dreams ! [ even though sleep was a precious comodity] . Limits of huge stripers from the low 30lbs class all the way up through the 40lbs class were encounter on all trips !!! Regular Wayne Salvi was aboard with his brother in law Mike and business associate Mike Balkum for fantastic striper action on live bunker. The stripers had the bunker packed tightly along the beach in fog and drizzle. At times there were visible 30-40lbs class fish inhaling bunker on the waters surface. The guys were doubled and even tripled up with huge stripers through out the trip not only getting their limit but also playing catch and release as well. The biggest bass official weight was 43lbs with the majority in the mid to upper 30's.
The foggy and rainy condtion served us well as we had the fish all to our selves for awhile and left them biting !!!! Regular Jay Simmons with business associate Carlton Bird was out for the exact same action with live bunker the next day . At times the snag bunker never made it back to the boat as huge stripers would consume the bait on the way in or if not consumed the stripers would just "tailgate the bait" to the boat ! The guys also limited out and with a couple releases and missed hits as well making for another fantastic day ! Regular Chris Spring experienced a slower pace bite but fantastic just the same with Chris getting his limit but only keeping one fish for the table. Chris had what appeared to be a HUGE striper on for 30 seconds or so with the line continuing in the wrong direction with no sign of slowing ! U nfortunetly as the reels line was being emptied the hook pulled to mine and Chris's disappointment . Oh No !!!! With a few more missed hits it was time to head for the barn and put an end to a PHENOMINAL STRIPER WEEK !!!!
