Fun Halloween weekend!
Started Friday night @ the raritan in the howling wind and rain skunking with just a bunch of leaves to reel in.
PA streams were blown out so just retried the raritan and was rewarded a mid-morning walleye. No other action other than a dink LMB, so moved to a crappie spot nearby and did ok-ish, nothing like how it was in spring.
Come Sunday PA streams are still blown out, figured I could bag another nice walleye so back at the river again.
Struck the gold-mine this time, got two massive PB stripers. First was a 9 minute fight, insane headshakes. The third one was 1/3rd the size of the other two but by this time my reel had broken! Daiwa BG 2500, some gear must have been stripped. Hand-lined it in to the leader but then it broke the snap off lol.
Monday I had off and picked one up early, but nothing else after that.
I originally hoped to get some trout so ended up hitting a new tiny creek for browns.
Wednesday after work joined Hookmanski in the surf and I got my first surf fish. He landed a GIANT and was a lot of fun just watching him in awe while the reel burnnnnnnned zzzzztztztzzzzzzzt! He posted it in saltwater board.
