So we took mother nature's lemons and made lemonade on Saturday !!!!
Crossing the bridge I could see the white caps in the angry bay .....
OK...PLAN B.
I knew we had a good afternoon flood tide for the creek with the East blow and continued to the boat with Andrew and Scotty.
With the creek absolutely loaded with peanut bunker we took advantage and one throw of the net gave us the live bait we needed. We fished the wonder rigs with live peanuts and had good action with fluke to 4lbs. Ended up keeping 4 nice fish and releasing a bunch of shorts.
While drifting one of the holes Scotty had a crazy run off that snapped his 12 lb leader
.... drag was screaming pretty good. Initial thought was a snag but I was not buying it.
Had the guys put fresh livies on and I went back for the same drift..... BANG.... two rods bent over.... ended up that we found a concentration of schoolie stripers under the peanut bunker. Played around for a while with good catch and release striper action. Nothing big of course but great fun on light tackle. After about 2 hours the winds really kicked up and the rain kicked into full gear chasing us off the bite. Ended up being a really nice trip close to the dock.
