Fishermen/Thur.nite striper report

[Capt.Dan]

We started the nite where we left off on Wed. nite and they were not there. I could not ask for better drifting conditions 2 knts. lines perfect going out no angle-no tangles, good fishermen on the boat-just a keeper and a short in a couple of drifts, trouble. caught a few on next spot but lost the tide now in big trouble, no current no fish. We backtracked to first spot and lines down brought 8 fish on and the fares were not ready-tight drags-fish lost, not following your fish- gets tangled and lost, but after a while things worked out and the stripers started losing to the fishermen. The pool winner was one of the best fishermen that we carry, Big Perry who never stops bouncing his sinker, an honest 20 lb. fish. No limits tonite but fish scattered around the boat, we lost more than caught because guys are fishing to light for these fish. You can't fish for bass on a p.b. with flounder gear, you cause more tangles and lose more fish. Anyway, its going to be breesy 2morrow nite and we will be going but if u could put off to Sat. nite I think it will be better. For info 908-930-2335.

Some nice fish were caught last night. It got a little sporty out there once the wind kicked up, but that's when the bite got good.

Nice night on the water, NY side was pleasant but short lived. Tide turned, wind started n game on. Watching the ex Angler now a NY boat rock n roll made me damn glad we were hitched to the Fisherman, we took a fair beating but nothing like the 22 foot WA getting bsmacked and the poor guys from NY. Another fun night, enough fish to realize it is really just the beginning of the run and after the blow, Ill take it.
