Sunday March 17th 2013 Striped Bass report

[Johnny Bucktails]

Cant feel my fingers but here is the report you guys have been waiting for. Left the dock around 10:30 and back by 4. Left the marina to a strong NW wind and incoming tide. Wind against, anchored up and went to work. Not even close to ideal contions especially with the boat swinging and rough chop. Water temp was 40 deg ( too cold ). Within the first hour we caught 3 short bass well under 28 inches. Then it died down, really died down until the tied switched at 12:45. Made a slight move at slack and we had better conditions. Caught 1 more SHORT fish and that was it for the day... It just shot off. No more hits or anything. I cant complain though, i had a great day with pops on the water. Felt great to REALLY wet the lines and get out on the water. As debris go... i was expecting much more. All we saw all day come by us was one small wood plank to what looked like a boardwalk plank. That was it... very surprising. I would call this a successful day considering the conditions and how early in the season it is. The bass are here boys. Were gana give it a week and let the water warm up to 45 and get right back out there and get some MEAT. No more shorts. I am very happy that we even got the chance to get out, let alone catch em. Any questions just ask away guys, Tight lines, Johnny Bucktails
