Default Solo run Easter stripers

Left SR at 930 knowing I would have to be back due to the forcast by 2.

was greeted with flat seas , light wind behind me so flew up pretty quick .

was bait everywhere as soon as I rounded the hook .

but it was all pinned to the bottom .

trolled mojos through pod after pod of bait without a sniff .

knew it would have to turn on around the change .

miles of gannets sitting on the water waiting also .

finally saw gannets start to climb pulled the mojos in and ran about a mile as the gannets started hitting the water like bowling balls .

Started jigging a ripple shad and hooked 6 bass before anyone was around .

then seemed like there were 10 boats just appear from no where , shut bite down pretty quick . Picked 2 more for a total of 8 bass between 15 and 25# all released to play another day ..

decided to make run back in building seas , boat washed up and back home by 2.



nice morning just being out .
