Saturday morning we had John Chans crew of first timers for a shot at the Stripers. Bait was kinda tough to get, but we managed. Started fishing and got one quick. Had bass blowing up the baits once again. Turning hooks and pulling the baits off. Again they just mess with them. Ran back in for some more bait. Got plenty this time. Even enough for the afternoon trip. Went back on and it was the same all day pretty much. Shots at fish here and there. The guys did well and landed 4 nice bass out of, I lost count. But they made a good day of it. Thanks guys.

Saturday Afternoon we had Lee's Charter out for his son Mikes Celebration of graduating Divers Academy. Evan, Jake and Johnny join them as well. Had bait and went right to fishing. Again instantly fish on. Put 3 fish in quick. Blowing up on baits like crazy. Bunkers getting blasted out of the water and bass coming clean out but they just couldn't hook them. Not there fault, again they were playing with it. Picked another fish and it was Kids 4 Dads 0. Hahahahaha. Young guns with the hot hands. Got a call from Capt Rich that they were stacked and oh boy they were. But just before then, the blues came and ripped our baits to shreds. Only had about 6 livies left for the stacked marks. Must have had 5-6 GOOD run offs and we even let them go a mile with it! Ughhh, these fish are frustrating. Had insane readings of fish with only 2 live ones left. Caught one and lost another. Tried chunks, deads and jigs, but all they wanted was the live ones. Ended up with 5 solid bass. Always an awesome time watching the kids catch fish. Thanks guys.
