  • Slower/Lower Tuesday

    Abel and I hit the water today around 9:45 in anticipation of a rising tide- brisk NW wind was a real challenge- my Fishfinder screen was soaked making it difficult to see the details- I finally just gave up and used it as a depth sounder following the bottom contours- the chop and splash kept me wet all the time I was on the water...I started off trolling a XRap XR10 bunker color and a Sea Assassin Pearl/chart with a red 1/4 oz Bomber Shad jighead...it was a slow start- first mile I had two small schoolies- I tried a cove that normally is full of big perch but all that was there were 14-19 inch stripers...I moved to deeper water but the swells and wind made things difficult to maintain a troll heading...I kept thinking the winds would lay down as the morning progressed but it didn't...about 11 am I started using a limetreuse glow sea assassin on my light outfit (2500 Stradic CI4(+) 10# braid on 7' St Croix light action Mojo Inshore)...I was casting letting the bait hit the bottom of the 22 foot channel and hopping it across- drag started screaming...damn, probably a CNR...but then the head shake and I knew it was a fish- got it along side the boat and the lip was torn into a long thin membrane with the hook just barely hanging- off it went...damn! I got back into position and repeated the drift several more times when the rod bent double and the drag was screaming again- this time the hook was in the roof of the 21 1/2 inch striper's mouth and on my stringer it went...Abel had a nice stringer of white perch and a bluefish- we both had dozens of 16-19 inch fish- I headed in a 1:30...Abel was still on the water...I invite him chime in if he wants-
