GAMBLER --Stripers and Blues

[captbogan]

Another terrific day of fishing. Good catch of big blues with a limit of slot bass and some bigger keepers up to 34".

The guys only took the blues they needed and we netted and released the rest.

The action slowed up after 11:30 so we took and ride and found another patch of birds with bass and blues under them.

Weather couldn't have been nicer.

Fish are feeding on herring, mackerel, butterfish, peanut bunker and rainfish. So just about any lure will do the trick as long as it is worked correctly.

Correctly means: Cast underhand, let it hit the bottom, crank all the way back in. The lure needs to be retrieved fast enough to look like it's swimming --if it doesn't look like swimming to you, it won't look like a meal to a bass.

See you tomorrow.

Monday looks like some rain and wind, so I think we'll stay in for maintenance and get ready for our offshore sea bass trips. We'll be back to stripers on Tuesday but offshore on Weds this week. You can check our schedule on our site.

Thanks for the report. I'll be there tomorrow morning. Hopefully the stocking truck will arrive before I do.
