Back Bay Stripers
Yesterday, I made my first launch of the season out of Keyport BPM. I wasn't planning on fishing much, but decided to take a long a few trolling plugs. After shaking down the motor a bit, I stopped in a area that always produces early in the season. I set two rods outs with with small 10-15ft divers and it didnt take long for the first bite. The next 90 mins it was non-stop action with several double headers, easily landed over 15 fish. All the bass were small up to 22", but certainly fun and not expected. The water temps were 44-45 degrees and water color was a bit muddy, but not too bad.
Interesting though, when the schools of herring and gannets came in, the bass bite died. It certainly appears the resident schoolies have started to feed. Tight lines as fishing will only get better next week.

Re: Back Bay Stripers
After seeing all of the bird life and having snagged bunkers with plugs last week, I kinda felt it was only a matter of time before someone would launch and get after the bass from a boat. Way to go Live 2! Watch out for that blue Contender. Freddy probably has the rods in the outrodders all ready to go.
