[Bounty Hunter]

Paul ran another Open Boat Striped Bass trip today. On board we had John, Fran, Paul & Rich. Paul ran down to the area where we had them over the last week but there was not a lot of life in the area. Casting Shads did not produce a fish. We got the word that the body of fish was moving to the south quickly. A run down to the Barnegat Inlet area only got us into scattered reads. Going with the Shads again got us a couple of Bonus size Bass and a couple of Blues. Another move of a few miles to the south proved to be an effort in futility as we only added a third Bonus fish and another Blue. At last word the Bass were 10 to 15 miles south of our position and out of our range. We finished the day with 3 Bass and 3 Blues. It was a tough day for the customers and the crew. We appreciate their understanding and hope to see the in the Spring.
