The striper fishing through out the bay remains solid with a variety of techniques working , the bass have responded well on top water poppers and a variety of baits. Regular Sean Castle was out for a solid striper bite on Friday night windy conditions. We started the trip finding striped bass blitzing bait fish on a shallow flat . As we approached the working fish it look as though M-80's [ fire crackers ] were going off in the water as the bass beat the water surface into foam. It really was an awsome visual spectical to watch ! We started our 1st drift way up wind as to not spook the bass , impatience got the best of me and I couldn't take it any longer so I push us a little closer to get in on the action. Now we had breaking fish within feet of the boat . Sean missed his 1st stike but was immediately into another bass , all within minutes of the dock!! We managed a few bass and put 1 in the box before the wind drove us to another location. The n ext stop proved to be another solid bite for a smaller class of fish but great fun just the same until trips end. New comer from Toronto Canada was Dean Browne joined by first time salt water fishing brother Scott and son Adian. The flats bite was found to be a little more tame but Scott did manage a nice striper for his efforts. The next stop everyone was in on the action with schoolie stripers in cluding son Adian on light spinning tackle from there we moved over to the inlet to go 2 for 4 with stripers while putting 2 nice fish in the box.
This is the best earliest action I can ever remember and as we progress it should only get better from here !
