Me, Joey Dah Fish, Sven of the Hook and Dr Kenny got an early start on Saturday, leaving the dock at 7 bells in search of Stripers.
Went outside where everyone's been fishing. At first light we marked them good but they were not active and no birds. Once the sun came up is was game on and for the next hour and a half were were jigging on the birds until it they broke up. Probably could have hung there longer if we were trolling but that's not our bag. Joe got the best fish of the day there which taped out at 41 inches. Tim got a decent fish as well, a nice fat gal that measured 38 inches. We had several others all keepers.
Once the birds scattered Joe decided to head inshore to some of our more traditional fall Striper spots. It was a good move and although we had no birds, the fish were there and we'd pick up a fish or 2 on each drift twiching our jigs off the bottom. I had one that taped out at 37 or so that put up a great fight in the current.
I guess we wound up with 20 fish. All released to fight another day, much to the disappointment of the fish and game officer who met us as we arrived at the dock. Great day on the water with perfect weather and company.. You know they were thick if I had a goo day
