4/29 limit... finally!!

Got out just above the bridge today and was surprised to find almost no one. Wind, rain, and being a work day paid off. We had 4 guys but ended up making a quick trip in to shore to drop a guy off (see photo). He forgot to take his fish with him for some reason so we had to release #4. That's ok, she was still working her way to the spawning grounds anyway. Kept 3 fish from 34"- 37" that we're nice and thin :D
Spankin Stripers on the port side was the hot ticket!! Fish were in 45' and not in a ton of bait. Marked a bunch near the sewer pipe but didn't hook up there; more towards the western shore. My 2 friends had their personal best trip ever so it was a GREAT day. I did notice that the charters that were headed towards the ships when I left this morning were cleaned up and gone by the time we got back to the dock. :rolleyes: Ps- my buddies thumb is throbbing like hell but fine. I need to put bolt cutters on the boat just in case that happens again. Please use caution when removing hooks from lively fish, or better yet... use tools!! :D |

Spankin' Stripers!! New color for 2013. Notice the 33oz one laying on the deck; What a beast!!

Good catch Jeff; the fish that is:D
5th |
Please tell me you got pictures with the hook in the thumb and not just X ray :D
If so , I'll take three 8x10's. I'd love to hear what doctors say in private about cutting hooks from fishermen. Congrats on limit - you guys sure earned it. Did Gary from Spankin' Striper happen to tell you what that lure is called ? |
Good job on the fish, hope your buddy is feeling no pain by now.
I will be out later this week. Jimmy |

Thanks! He sure did, again, "might" be too graphic :D |
Jeff,
You mind telling us what the weights of the Spankin' Stripers and how far back that got the fish? My impression, both personally (caught one on a 2 oz single chartreuse back 100') and from reading reports was that they were especially high up in the water column this year. Congratulations! Don |
