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 .
