BOUNTY HUNTER-Stripers For The Enzo Padovani Charter, 12/8

[Bounty Hunter]

The Enzo Padovani charter was on board today. Along with Enzo were Sean, Brian, Delbert and Bo. Getting to the grounds early we could see that yesterday's weather had scattered the Bass and the shallow inshore areas were devoid of life. We searched over an hour and came up empty. Moving off into deeper water the bait reads improved and we finally got on some Bass. Trolling Shad Rigs was the way to go today. The Shads saved what could have been a disaster, as we went 7 for 8 on the Bass today. We finished with 5 Bonus Bass and 2 Unders the largest of which measured 39" We also captured one Bluefish. One short Bass was released. It was tough fishing as the wind once again came on and made for uncomfortable conditions for the charter. We were back at the dock by 1PM. Tough day with a nice group of young men. Not sailing Tomorrow but will be back out on Saturday.
