Started off the trip in search of Striped Bass. Tons of boats and bunker in the bay but no one catching. Strong west wind against the tide made it a bit snotty but manageable. Decided to head east to the tip of the hook. Plenty of birds and boats working by the TC but once again no action. Took a ride down the beach and the ocean was much calmer than the bay on the leeward. Went to the SHR and anchored up on some numbers I had. It was slow at first but started catching nice keeper sea bass. I was surprised the big ones where still around and the keeper to throwback ratio was very good. I wound up with 8 keepers all caught on clams. It was chilly and windy in the morning but the sun came out and it turned out to be a very nice day on the water as the day progressed. Get out there while you can. Fishing is just gonna get better Bass and blackfish soon. Tight Lines!
