Default Striper strike out

Doug, his stepson and I decided to hit the bay for some of the great striper action that has been going on. Now, I can say we had a lot of fun, I could say it was a beautiful day on the water or any of the other things we say when we don't catch fish but the fact is I struck out. Trolling, claming, chunks, north, south, east and west. We tried it all and came up with the big old goose egg! We even tried to build a little karma by towing in a fisherman and his family who blew his engine. Stuck in the middle of the bay with no seatow or boat U.S., we took the time to tow him back to keyport, turned around and headed back out with high hopes and an account full of good karma. Still nothing. I must have done something wrong in a past life.

Fished hard all day, it was a lot of fun and a beautiful day on the water. Will be back at it during the week!

Joey, any stars for good karma

Just like Shrimpy said.... We tried EVERYWHERE!! But yeah, it was as always just good to be out getting lines wet. An old friend from from grammar/high school was going out today as well, he was sailing our way when I got the call. He blew a rod thru the motor!
Off we go to the rescue! On our way back towards the "FartBubbles" with high hopes of bent rods....NADA! Oh well.... Next time...

Be good, or be good at it...
