No Stripers were hurt in the making of this report::p
Loaded up with clams and bunker at Pete's to start the day. Was in no rush as I planned to fish the end of the outgoing and then the afternoon incoming. Left in sporty conditions for the dirty shrimp. Doug just got his boaters safety card so he ran the boat out and did quite well in the slop. I decided to stay in the bay based on some advanced intelligence. Turned out to be one stop shopping. Had a nice pic for the end of the ebb of All big fish. I had a double limit by 1130. Alll fish were at least 15 pounds and some of them going to 20. Doug had a late start but when he started catching his fish were just as big. Things slowed down for slack and I was debating moving. Decided to wait it out and wait for the flood and boy was it the right decision. The fish put the feed bags on in the late afternoon and were slamming bunker chunks as well as clams at an alarming rate. Doug and I even had a triple header. Went through every piece of bait on the boat and left them chewing in the late afternoon.
All fish were of the jumbo variety I ended the day with 11 fish of at least 15 pounds and up to 20. Doug ended with eight keepers of the same size. All fish released to swim another day.
Once again thanks to all who offered advice.
