Wednesday April 24th Striped Bass Report -Johnny Bucktails

[Johnny Bucktails]

I should be doing about 4 hours of hw right now but this report is too good to keep to myself. Left the dock at 3:10 with our 4 man crew of, the lip, i, Uncle frank, and my cuz frank. By 5 o'clock, we had our 4 man limit plus 2 bonus tags that my dad and i got last night. 10 keeper bass in under 2 hours... can it get any better. Lost 3 fish at the boat and a lot of shorts. Not nearly as many on this incoming though. Mostly all big fish. A school of bigger fish decided to show up. Big fish of the day was a nice 18 pounder. Few other 37 inchers also. What a day... Had the whole bay to ourselves which was a beautiful thing. Tossed the first rod in, tossed in the second, first rod goes off, toss the third rod in, second whet off. Thats how we STARTED the day... and i didn't even get to chum yet ?! ANOTHER great day on the water with a great crew. See you guys tomorrow BOOOM
tight lines, JOHNNY BUCKTAILS

Was thinking along the same lines both with congratulations and about how many bass do you need to keep so early in the season.

[Bailed Out]

Catch and release.....you should try it one day. Just saying

agreed here too! been watching this site blow up with caught and KEPT bass this month and it bothers me to see the same people reporting so often about kept catches. gotta play the conservationist sometimes especially with the big cows who are the breeders

won't be any by time he's older

Ha - Dont listen to them Johnny - Its lonely at the top.

Stripers come and go and it has nothing to do with the recreational catch.

You catch and keep all the legal fish you can. Its hard to get real food anymore and I am sure you are putting them to good use.

And when the fluke come, fry them up too.

[Solemate]

Don't listen yo them Johnny. These are probably same guys that kill big fluke in the name of tournament cash. Do what you have been doing and enjoy the catch and the food. Way to catch them up.
