[Hunter 2]

Met friends Bob and Mike at my marina, decided to leave my boat in the slip and jumped on Bobs boat "25' Seafox " for a quick 43mph ride south around the hook by the 3 mile line and tossed shads at Bunker schools with readings under them. It was a little sporty out there and no hits. Took a ride by the outer edge Raritan bay by the channel and set out the parachutes. While reeling them in to make a move I caught a nice 43" 28lb Striper that we released. Then we picked up 3 more around 25lbs and a 27" . We decided to run fast back to the marina as the sun was setting , Nice short trip with good friends.
