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
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.
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!!
4/29 limit... finally!!
